My Approach

“Compassion is, by definition, relational. Compassion literally means 'to suffer with,' which implies a basic mutuality in the experience of suffering."
― Kristin Neff, PhD

As a compassionate and dedicated Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I am here for you ready to guide you through life's most complex challenges. With a genuine commitment to your well-being, I offer personalized care tailored to your unique needs. I bring understanding, compassion, and kindness to our therapeutic relationship. Drawing from an eclectic theoretical orientation, I integrate various therapeutic approaches to provide the most effective treatment for each individual. Whether you're facing relational trauma, depression, anxiety, or traumatic stress, my extensive clinical training and certifications, including being a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and certified in EMDR treatment, equip me with the expertise to support your healing journey. I employ a range of techniques and modalities, such as Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Mindfulness, Expressive Art Therapy, Trauma-Informed Care, Solution-Focused Therapy, Psycho-dynamic and Attachment theories, Somatic Experiencing, and Cognitive and/or Dialectical Behavioral Therapy techniques. Together, we will determine the best intervention suited to your current situation and goals. I deeply value cultural differences and incorporate a culturally sensitive approach into my practice, ensuring a supportive environment for all clients. Your well-being is my utmost priority, and I go above and beyond to help you overcome the obstacles you face. To make it even more accessible, I offer a complimentary phone or in-person consultation to address any questions or concerns you may have. Take the first step towards a brighter tomorrow by reaching out to schedule your consultation. Together, we will embark on a therapeutic journey that promotes growth, resilience, and a renewed sense of well-being.
