I commonly integrate multiple therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational interviewing (MI) Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I guide individuals and teach coping skills specifically tailored to meet their mental and emotional needs while increasing the ability to better cope with life challenges.

Interests
I enjoy meditation, reading, eating, and music which are an absolute part of my daily routine! I also enjoy outdoor activities and concerts as I find them all so cathartic and healing.
