Therapy style

Beginning therapy is like commencing a journey within oneself, and it is essential to find the therapist that is right for you to assist you along the way. You already possess the innate wisdom to help resolve maladaptive patterns, behaviors, and relationships that are creating obstacles in reaching your full potential and self-realizing. The therapeutic process will assist you in obtaining your goals and living a healthy, fulfilling life. Because I believe we are mind, body, and soul, I have a holistic approach in my practice. We are each unique individuals with different problems, needs and wants and therefore require a personalized and individualized treatment to resolve symptoms and conflicts. Emphasizing uniqueness, I utilize an integrative approach in your treatment through the use of various modalities while applying diverse techniques and interventions. This will help you become more in touch with your whole self and recover from any trauma or adverse life experiences and the psychological distress produced by it. Through life's struggles and moments of darkness, we are given the gift of strength, resilience, and the opportunity to better understand our genuine selves. My goal as your therapist is to help guide you in this process by holding a safe space in your healing.

Interests

Above all, I enjoy traveling and experiencing different cultures and people. My kitchen is my sanctuary where I practice self-care and love to cook for my loved ones. Also, I’ll take the chance to attend live musical performances whenever I can. I love the arts and attend museums, galleries, and the theater regularly.
