Lack of motivation, disinterest in daily tasks, negative thoughts, and mood changes can feel overwhelming and debilitating. I use cognitive, holistic, emotional, identity-focused, relational/attachment, mindfulness, and trauma-informed approaches to explore how past experiences may be influencing patterns of avoidance or self-protection. Together, we work to regulate emotions, process past pain, explore identity, develop executive functioning skills, resolve guilt or shame, process family dynamics, improve distress tolerance, enhance communication, and address intimacy challenges. I create a supportive and accepting.
My approach is warm, engaging, direct, and compassionate, using insightful questioning, reflective listening, and collaborative dialogue to create a space for introspection, mutual understanding, and meaningful resolution. I affirm and support clients who identify as BIPOC, AAPI, Latinx, LGBTQ+, and neurodivergent.
I use trauma-informed care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and the foundational principles of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients gain clarity around their emotions, develop effective self-care skills, and build coping strategies for life’s stressors.
