Therapy is a journey.
I believe it’s one we take together. 

My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can explore your experiences, strengthen your relationships, gain clarity, and create a more fulfilling life. My therapeutic style is warm, grounded, and deeply affirming. I am passionate about providing inclusive, supportive care for individuals from marginalized communities. Everyone deserves a space where they feel seen, heard, and valued, and I strive to create a therapeutic environment that respects and honors diverse identities, backgrounds, and lived experiences.

I take a thoughtful, evidence-based approach, continuously staying informed on the most effective treatments to ensure my clients receive the best possible care. I have significant training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and the Gottman Method for couples therapy, and I integrate these approaches in a way that best fits each client’s unique needs.

In addition to my formal training, my eclectic background has given me a deep understanding of human behavior across different backgrounds and perspectives. I believe therapy is a collaborative process—one where we work together to create meaningful and lasting change.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a highly effective, evidence-based approach that helps individuals identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It focuses on developing practical skills to manage challenges and improve overall well-being. Key areas of CBT include:

    • Cognitive Restructuring – Recognizing and reframing negative thoughts.

    • Behavioral Activation – Engaging in activities that promote positive emotions.

    • Coping Strategies – Building tools to manage stress, anxiety, and depression.

    • Problem-Solving – Developing practical solutions to life’s challenges.

    CBT is goal-oriented and works well for anxiety, depression, and a variety of emotional and behavioral concerns.

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based approach that helps individuals manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and develop healthy coping strategies. It combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness and focuses on four key areas:

    • Mindfulness – Staying present and self-aware.

    • Distress Tolerance – Coping with difficult emotions without harmful reactions.

    • Emotion Regulation – Understanding and managing intense feelings.

    • Interpersonal Effectiveness – Strengthening communication and relationships.

    DBT is especially helpful for those struggling with emotional dysregulation, anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges.

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals process and heal from trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and distressing life experiences. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, to help the brain reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional intensity. Key components of EMDR include:

    • Memory Reprocessing – Helping the brain integrate traumatic memories in a less distressing way.

    • Bilateral Stimulation – Using guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation to support healing.

    • Desensitization – Reducing emotional distress tied to past experiences.

    • Cognitive Restructuring – Shifting negative beliefs formed by trauma into more adaptive perspectives.

    EMDR is especially effective for individuals who feel stuck in past experiences and want to move forward with greater resilience and emotional well-being.

  • The Gottman Method is a research-based approach to couples therapy designed to strengthen relationships through effective communication, trust-building, and deeper emotional connection. Key areas of focus include:

    • Enhancing Communication – Learning to express needs and listen with understanding.

    • Conflict Resolution – Navigating disagreements in a healthy, constructive way.

    • Building Trust & Intimacy – Strengthening emotional and physical connection.

    • Creating Shared Meaning – Developing a deeper sense of partnership and purpose.

    This method is especially helpful for couples looking to improve their connection, rebuild trust, and create a lasting, fulfilling relationship.
