My approach to therapy is people-centered, working with clients of diverse backgrounds, ages, and life stages. As a psychotherapist, my goal is to support my clients in navigating the various complexities of life, whether it be anxiety and depression, relationship struggles, identity formation, or trauma. In working with clients, I take pride in showing up in a way that feels human and connected, as I believe that a strong connection with your therapist is foundational to building trust and fostering vulnerability. We will work together to identify your needs and craft practical, achievable goals to strive for. At Kairos Psychotherapy & Wellness, we believe that this moment can be your "Kairos" moment – the critical, right, or opportune moment!

Treatment Approach
- 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.
- Family Systems Therapy Looks at problems within the context of the family as a whole. It aims to improve communication and balance in family relationships.
- Psychoanalytic Therapy Based on Freud’s theories, it explores unconscious conflicts and past experiences. It seeks to bring hidden issues into awareness.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
Approach Description: I use a blend of different therapeutic approaches to help clients navigate toward their goals. A popular modality used in therapy is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, commonly known as CBT. This modality helps us understand, uncover, and shift the thoughts we hold that may be influencing our feelings and, in turn, impacting the way we show up in the world. I also utilize Psychoanalytic and Psychodynamic approaches, helping clients explore significant events that have occurred in their lifespan, particularly during critical formative years like childhood and adolescence. By walking through those years, we uncover the ways, both productive and maladaptive, we learned to cope and survive, while developing new ways and approaches to life and interactions. I enjoy working with couples and families, helping both navigate dynamics, elevate needs, and develop new ways of communicating and interacting with each other.
