I have extensive experience in the treatment of depression, anxiety, life transitions, stress management, grief and loss, and chronic pain. I utilize a mixture of interventions and modalities based on patient needs and preferences, including CBT, ACT, DBT, problem solving, existential and supportive therapies. I seek to provide services that are culturally responsive and take into consideration social, biological, personal, and environmental factors to meet the needs of the whole person.
I value warmth, openness and collaboration to meet patients where they are at as they navigate life’s changes and challenges together. I have worked with individuals of varied ages (young adulthood to older adulthood) from diverse backgrounds and communities, and can provide services in Spanish, if so desired.
