About me
When you talk, I'm right there, connecting the dots between seemingly unrelated facts that actually matter a lot. My approach to problem-solving is like a friendly guide – straightforward and covering all the bases, pulling insights from different trends and fields. It's like having a bunch of lenses to look at behaviors from various angles, helping you grow personally. My goal is to be your partner in developing handy tools and structures to tackle any therapeutic challenges that come your way!
I collaborate with you to identify strengths, overcome challenges, and develop effective coping strategies. Expertise in stress management, anxiety, panic disorder, depression, complex trauma, multi-generational trauma, and cultural considerations guides my approach, using evidence-based therapeutic methods tailored to your unique needs.
