Therapy style

I am a person-centered therapist with expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, focusing on clients who struggle with trauma, depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. I form a collaborative partnership with clients in our therapy relationship, using a multicultural perspective to understand you as a whole person and inform a guided treatment plan that comprehensively addresses your concerns. My gentle, compassionate, and curious approach fosters discovery and insights into how you perceive yourself, others, and the world, helping you navigate life's ups, downs, and in-betweens. I practice evidence-based therapies, which are proven to improve your symptoms and overall mental health and wellness. I personalize these treatments to fit your needs, target specific changes you want to make, and achieve your goals in therapy. The idea is to improve your quality of life, sense of success, and mastery in daily living while capitalizing on your personal strengths to instill confidence, hope, and meaning in your life experiences. I truly appreciate the opportunity to serve as your guide on your journey to healing and wellness.
