I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to engage in self-reflection at some moment in their lives, whether they are transitioning through a phase or struggling with the daily stressors of everyday life that impact well-being. I envision therapy as a collaborative process between therapist and client in which individuals, through guidance and introspection, can reach the best versions of themselves and develop meaningful relationships, self-fulfillment, and mastery over past and present challenges. I hold a multicultural lens with all clients I encounter and recognize the impact of race, ethnicity, and social context. Having worked with clients of varying ages and cultural backgrounds, my therapeutic approach is holistic and incorporates various factors that impact an individual's sense of self. I am integrative in my use of techniques, offering concrete tools for dealing with life's challenges as well as helping clients gain insight. I draw from a psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, family systems, and emotion-focused framework, but overall value the therapeutic relationship, characterized by non-judgment and genuineness, as a source of healing. I believe there should be a match between therapist and client, and I welcome you to contact me to learn about our potential work together.
