Through an integrative approach, I incorporate interventions from ACT, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, self-compassion theory, and sensorimotor therapy.
I practice with the intention of providing culturally sensitive and trauma informed services to support clients' mental well-being. My clients' common concerns include trauma, sexual well-being, depression, anxiety, adjustment to college, academic performance, relationships, and identity exploration. Many are interested in understanding the history of their presenting concern(s), how past experiences impact them currently, and what changes they can make to alleviate their concerns. During sessions, clients and I process their experiences and utilize their feedback to adjust interventions to ensure treatment aligns with their goals.

My therapeutic style integrates aspects of CBT, CPT, DBT, EMDR, and mindfulness practices.
When trauma, anxiety, or mood disorders take hold, they can leave you feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that are hard to break. These experiences often shape the way you see yourself and the world around you, leading to difficulty trusting others, managing emotions, or feeling at peace. For many, these struggles aren’t just about isolated symptoms—they’re about carrying the weight of experiences that haven’t yet been processed. My goal is to help you understand these experiences and reconnect with a sense of inner steadiness and hope.

These include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy ( CBT), which addresses a range of concerns and levels of distress.
Early sessions focus on building rapport, identifying challenges, setting goals, and creating a plan to reach them. CBT then involves a set number of sessions centered on how your thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and behaviors may block progress in your life goals—and how to develop skills based on your strengths to help you move forward.

I use a variety of techniques in my practice by combining my training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT) and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction.
My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and find more helpful ways of living. I offer a collaborative and client-centered approach tailored to each of my clients individual needs and cultural backgrounds to help attain the personal growth you're striving for.
