My Approach

I deeply believe in the value of offering treatment that works. Therapy is an investment of time, money and energy. I would like it to be a meaningful and rewarding experience for you. Therefore, I have focused on providing evidenced based treatment, such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Prolonged Exposure and Exposure with Response Prevention.

Many clients who have come to me for therapy also struggled with how negatively they view themselves and/or the world. It is totally understandable given the past experience and how, well, let’s be real, things really suck sometimes. As a lover for stories and philosophy, I have learned that how we use our words and languages significantly shape our understanding and interpretations of the reality. I strive to hold unconditional positive regard and a nonjudgmental stance for you, so you can learn and practice how to be the compassionate and gentle voice for yourself even when feeling down and worried.

As we all know, it’s always a winding road to our destination. At times, we may lose sight of our goals and question the possibility of it. In addition to being your empathetic companion for your journey, I have this unwavering centeredness to keep pushing us forward when it seems impossible. I offer specific skills to equip you with tools to tolerate distress and uncertainty, to manage our volatile emotions, to communicate with ease and confidence and to understand ourselves deeper to move beyond our stuck points rooted in the past.
