My therapeutic approach is founded on a simple yet powerful idea: Accepting yourself is the first step toward change. As a clinical psychologist, my focus is on providing specialized treatment that works. I rely on evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and exposure therapies. Additionally, I incorporate multicultural perspectives and existential values to create a personalized and meaningful experience. I specialize in two key areas: Couples Therapy and Anxiety. I'm a Level 2 Gottman-trained therapist equipped to guide couples through the intricate dynamics of relationships at various life stages. If you're grappling with anxiety issues, my approach includes exposure therapies to effectively treat OCD, phobias, panic attacks, trauma, and general anxiety. In our collaborative work, we'll focus on reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. At the same time, we'll cultivate mindfulness, acceptance, and actions aligned with your values. If you're contemplating therapy, don't hesitate to reach out for a consultation. Together, let's navigate the complexities of life to achieve lasting mental well-being.
