With almost 2 decades of experience in the field of psychology/counseling, I specialize in helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges, including, divorce, anxiety, trauma, bereavement, and bullying. My approach is rooted in a non-judgmental and client centered philosophy, ensuring that each person feels heard and understood.
Incorporating techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered Counseling, I strive to empower my clients to make positive changes by establishing coping strategies and successful communication skills to improve relationships.
I've expanded my practice to include Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), which has been instrumental in providing clients with effective strategies for managing emotional dysregulation and building resilience.
My goal is to provide supportive and compassionate environment where clients can explore their feelings and work towards healing and growth.
I believe in the power of progress over perfection. My goal is to walk alongside you, providing support and guidance as you build a stronger relationship with yourself. I am dedicated to offering personalized care tailored to your unique needs. Please reach out via email/phone to set up a free consultation and take the first steps towards a healthier you!
