Yesterday’s experiences can influence today’s thoughts, and your current thoughts will dictate how you behave and feel. Are you in an uncertain place in life and find yourself desiring peace and happiness? Do you fear the unknown or constantly worry? Do you experience bouts of sadness or anger that appear to be intensifying? Have you tried everything to fix these things, but nothing has worked? Well, there is hope. Regardless of your struggles, the right therapist can help you begin the healing process. I believe that I am the right therapist for you. I specialize in treating anxiety and depression and I am here to help.
As your therapist, I cannot erase your past thoughts and experiences, but overtime, I can assist you with changing your current thoughts and behaviors, and help you develop healthier routines, which can alleviate the depression, anxiety or other mental health challenges that you may be experiencing.
In treatment, I utilize holistic and cognitive approaches, I also incorporate selfcare strategies into treatment. My approach to therapy has been developed and honed over a 15-year period and began in 2009, when I graduated from USC with a graduate’s degree in social work. Please connect with me so that I can help you begin to heal.
