I provide short-term therapy to help you identify wants and needs, address fears, insecurities, and traumas of the past, and then take steps towards meaningfully achieving growth, while stabilizing your presenting concerns. My style of therapy is to draw from your past experiences, process unresolved trauma, and use the insights to create a new way of thinking. We will work together to outline steps that achieve your desired goals and improve thought processes. Clients who are ready for self-honesty, accountability and growth are ideal to begin this therapeutic journey.
I specialize in solution-focused therapy, grief therapy and applied behavior analysis. I also incorporate other modalities of therapy with focus on strength-based, behavioral, stress-management and psychodynamic approaches.
A desire to help others has always been my first love. I have always been that friend, relative, supervisor or colleague who understands that life is happening, despite some of the societal and superficial needs we tend to prioritize. My work experience and innate empathy has allowed me to be a relatable, supportive, and objectively honest clinician.
