About

With 8 years of education in Psychotherapy Science and more than 8 years of experience, I have provided therapy to teens, adults, and seniors. My ability to facilitate a range of evidence-based therapeutic interventions and strategies ensures culturally sensitive and trauma-informed care throughout your journey. I offer compassionate and prompt assistance in managing challenging situations efficiently, delivering immediate support, and developing safety plans to ensure client well-being. I am LGBTQIA+ friendly.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Existential Phenomenological Psychotherapy (EPP), with an emphasis on demonstrating empathy and practicing active listening to support clients in redefining and understanding their challenges.

I also utilize short-term psychodynamic techniques, focusing on assessments of client needs and formulating effective treatment plans. Let's build together a unique process to improve your quality of life.
