About my approach
Warm, collaborative, and culturally informed—paired with practical tools. I help you identify unhelpful patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behavior, then build a plan to change them. We’ll connect mind–body cues, clarify values, and translate insight into skills you can use right away.
What clients say
Clients share that they feel safe and understood and that I help them recognize and challenge thinking patterns, practice new coping skills, and follow through on changes that matter.
Guiding idea / Point of therapy
“Everyone deserves to be seen and heard. To be heard is to be known, and to be known is to be loved.”
Therapy is a dedicated space to explore identity, name what hurts, and strengthen the resilience and values that already live in you.
Tools & frameworks I use
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) • Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) • Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) • Mindfulness • Strength-based, culturally responsive care
What you can expect in a session with me
We’ll define clear goals and work the plan. That can include thought records and behavior activation (CBT), emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills (DBT), values work with committed action (ACT), graded exposure with response-prevention coaching (ERP), and in-session grounding. You’ll leave each session with a small, doable assignment so progress continues between meetings.
If you’re nervous to start…
It’s okay not to have it all figured out. Think of therapy like finding the right pair of jeans—you won’t know the fit until you try. We’ll go at a steady pace and adjust as we learn what helps.
My colleagues describe me as…
Grounded, thoughtful, and purposeful. I’m known for helping clients turn emotional awareness into clear action steps and for creating calm, structured sessions where confidence grows.
Outside of the therapy room
Reading a fictional novel in the park or at a café, taking long walks or going to the gym, trying new places to eat, and spending quality time with friends and family. I value an individualized, culturally informed approach to wellness—honoring social, financial, emotional, physical, spiritual, and cultural parts of life.
Note: If you’re in crisis or need immediate support, call 988 or go to the nearest emergency room.
