I am passionate about working with individuals, couples, and families to address struggles such as depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem, stress management, and cross-cultural issues. Using a trauma-informed approach, I strive to create a safe and collaborative environment, with the understanding of how trauma can underlie various mental health issues. By exploring the root causes of symptoms, we work towards a more comprehensive and lasting healing. My approach is integrative, engaging individuals to learn adaptive coping strategies and embrace the best version of themselves. My theoretical orientation is based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I'm passionate about exploring the impact of thoughts on emotions and behaviors, challenging negative self-talk, and cultivating skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. On this personal journey, we will gain insights into your strengths and explore ways to overcome your challenges. I would be honored to help you navigate in the direction of your values and goals.
