Approach Description: I take an integrative approach, blending insight-oriented and practical techniques to meet your unique needs. I draw from existential and psychodynamic therapy to explore deeper meaning and past experiences, while CBT and solution-focused techniques offer concrete tools for immediate challenges. Family systems and emotionally focused therapy (EFT) help navigate relational dynamics, and psychoeducation ensures you gain knowledge to support long-term well-being.
As a BIPOC therapist, I incorporate multicultural therapy, recognizing the impact of identity and lived experiences. My humanistic approach ensures therapy is collaborative, warm, and empowering - guiding you toward growth, healing, and meaningful change.
