In our sessions, we will work on understanding emotional responses, protective mechanisms, and inner system work. Together, we will work to increase self-efficacy and compassion to better deal with any stressful life situations that may arise. My clients will want to work on developing a stronger sense of self. Goals in therapy will be a collaborative process structured to help you along your introspective journey.
Some of my specialties include compassion-based cognitive-behavioral therapy. The counseling process is tailored to the individual client's needs, using experiential techniques. I foster a safe environment to learn new coping skills and more positive thought processes. People learn in different ways. I keep this in mind when exploring innovative techniques.
I began my professional journey as a Kindergarten teacher and have since combined my expertise as both an educator and a therapist in my current sessions. I am committed to working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and welcome anyone who is interested to contact me for a consultation.

Groups
Psychoeducational group for Autistic Adults
This group is not currently active. Please feel free to reach out if you are interested, as I am awaiting increased interest for the next series. The group is intended for adults with an official or suspected Autism diagnosis. Meetings are held weekly via video conference. The primary objectives are fostering connection and promoting self-understanding. Participants will have the opportunity to learn coping strategies, enhance emotional awareness, and build personal resilience. Each session will include a structured curriculum and activities designed to encourage engagement and support a supportive, judgment-free environment.
