I provide interactive and strength-based psychotherapy for adolescents (ages 14+) and adults. Believing that you are the expert on your own life, I work alongside you to create a personalized treatment plan using proven modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). My goal is to offer a warm, inclusive space where you feel safe and heard. We will collaboratively explore the patterns holding you back, challenge unhelpful thinking, and build lasting tools for self-care and emotional well-being.

Core Approach

I provide individual psychotherapy to adolescents (ages 14 and up) as well as both individual therapy and coaching for adults. My approach is interactive, collaborative, and strength-based.

Core Principles:

  • Therapy tailored to unique needs of each client
  • Work alongside you to restore balance
  • Treatment plans that evolve with you
  • Move toward more fulfilling, grounded life

Evidence-Based Modalities

Drawing from a range of evidence-based modalities, I create a flexible and personalized treatment plan that evolves with you.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – Building psychological flexibility and mindfulness
  • Solution-Focused Therapy – Emphasizing strengths and solutions

  • Interpersonal Therapy – Improving relationships and communication

Philosophy

My work is deeply relational and rooted in compassion. I offer supportive guidance and practical feedback, while also gently illuminating the patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that may be keeping you stuck.

  • Hold clients in highest regard

  • Believe in your capacity for insight, growth, and meaningful change

  • Challenge unhelpful thinking patterns

  • Strengthen coping strategies

  • Build tools for self-care, communication, and emotional resilience

Relational Healing

Healing and self-understanding unfold in the context of relationships—both with others and with ourselves.

Relationship Focus:

  • Cultivate self-compassion by learning to soften your inner critic and treat yourself with kindness.
  • Deepen self-knowledge by exploring your personal story to authentically embrace all parts of who you are.
  • Build trust in your inner voice, allowing you to show up more authentically in your life and relationships.
  • Transform your external relationships by learning to set healthy boundaries and communicate your needs with clarity.
  • Interrupt lifelong patterns of self-criticism and people-pleasing to create new ways of being.

Cultural Awareness

I bring a strong awareness of cultural, relational, and systemic dynamics to my work.

  • Especially attuned to issues of diversity and acculturation

  • Understanding how ethnicity shapes emotional experiences

  • Awareness of religious and cultural influences

  • Attention to gender-based stressors and their impacts
