Therapy style

Together, we'll explore the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to develop practical strategies for positive change and well-being. I specialize in helping clients navigate depression and anxiety through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), empowering them to make meaningful changes and experience relief while working toward lasting progress. I strive to create a safe and comfortable space for clients to feel at ease discussing anything on their minds. I take pride in offering compassionate, non-judgmental listening, ensuring that you feel heard and understood throughout our work together.

Approaches

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i)
  • Harm Reduction
  • Motivational Interviewing
  • Psychodynamic
  • Solution-focused
  • Strengths-based

Education

MS - Social Work, Columbia University

Interests

I enjoy reading and listening to podcasts, particularly those focused on personal development and psychology. This not only helps me unwind but also enriches my practice as a therapist by allowing me to apply valuable insights to my work.
