If you are feeling anxious, depressed, lost, full of grief, or just not yourself, I am here to help. We are in this together.

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) An evidence-based treatment for PTSD that teaches clients to reframe unhelpful thoughts about trauma. It helps reduce guilt, shame, and fear.
- Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) Builds skills in self-kindness and compassion toward others. It is especially helpful for people who struggle with shame or self-criticism.
- Eclectic Therapy Draws from different therapeutic methods based on what fits each client best. It is flexible and personalized rather than following one single model.
- Psychoeducational Therapy Provides education and coping tools about mental health conditions. It empowers clients with knowledge and practical skills.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
Approach Description: My approach to therapy is goal oriented, direct, compassionate, empowering, and psychoeducational. I believe in empowering others to take control of their lives by providing coping strategies and perspectives that foster life changes towards living your best life. I adapt my counseling style to meet your needs where you are at the time. Not everyone is the same nor experiencing the same issues, therefore not everyone responds to the same approach of counseling. I am flexible, client centered, and good at helping others figure out the "why" in order to create steps to foster change and wellness.
