Therapy style

I have been in practice since 2017, helping people resolve issues related to depression, anxiety, phobias, identity issues, substance dependence, geriatric issues, grief and loss, stress, self-esteem, and family conflict issues. I use an unconditional positive regard therapeutic approach when working with clients as every experience is unique and subjective. I incorporate Therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Techniques, and Psychodynamic Techniques, and I always use a Strengths-based model.

Interests

Outside of my professional job, I practice Bikram Yoga 4 days a week. I am passionate about gardening and have a collection of over 50 house plants and a food garden. In addition, I backpack and hike with friends as I love to be outdoors and move my body. I also very much enjoy spending time cooking for friends and socializing with them several times a week.
