Therapists in M5C
Couples and Individual therapy. I specialize in relational therapy, an approach to clinical work that stresses that psychic structure derives from the individual's relations with others. My perspective on Couple Therapy remains "relationship-oriented," stressing a greater understanding of each individual's uniqueness and the factors outside the person's awareness. For Individuals, psychotherapy helps with depression, anxiety, issues in relationships, identity, and the experience of loss while finding new avenues to cope better with the realities of current life situations.

I believe that personal health encompasses not only the state of the body but our minds, emotions, and thoughts as well. My passion for psychotherapy comes from helping others achieve their goals and fulfill a wholistic picture of health by improving and integrating all areas of their lives. Since I began practicing in the field in 2018, I have discovered that one of the greatest rewards for me is supporting clients in learning new skills and gaining a different perspective often while using a sense of humor. While doing this, my goal is to help them utilize their own strengths and abilities to develop a happier and healthier life.

I became a therapist because, just like you, I am human and have had my fair share of battles. It took a long time for me to get to where I am today. I recognize that in moments of hopelessness, it is hard to find determination, that depression can be scary, that anxiety can be overwhelming, and that traumatic experiences can leave one feeling emotionally exhausted and drained out. I acknowledge the stigma associated with mental health and in going to therapy. For this reason, I know how crucial it is to provide therapy that is client-centered, empathetic, and unique to each person’s needs.
