About me
My goal in therapy is to meet you where you are and provide the support to access the tools you need to deal with your challenges. I believe that it is important to provide a safe and supportive environment where issues that are causing disturbance in your life can be explored. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples from various backgrounds and experiencing various problems.
I use a culturally sensitive, person-in-environment approach as everyone’s experiences and backgrounds are different. We will work as a team to address issues and concerns and identify effective strategies to establish homeostasis in your life. I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Humanistic, Narrative Therapy and Psychodynamic approaches.
My approach is warm, engaged, and non-judgmental. We will work as a team to address issues and concerns and identify effective strategies to establish homeostasis in your life. It is my honor to serve those who choose to share their lives with me.
