To Psychotherapy 

Facing life's challenges takes incredible strength and thus requires being met with unconditional compassion, non-judgement, and shared sense of humanity. This is, at minimum, what I provide to my clients.

​Based on this core value, I practice humanistic, integrative, and client-focused therapy. No single approach works for everyone and therefore, I individualize therapy to focus on treating you as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms. 

​

Therapy begins with building a solid therapeutic relationship, which forms the foundation of our work together. My experience as a therapist has proven time and time again the power of authentic human connection based on mutual trust to facilitate transformational change. In fact, current scientific research cites the therapeutic alliance as the strongest indicator of successful therapy. When met with unwavering empathy, individuals can more freely explore their entire human experience, and find deeper understanding of and greater acceptance for themselves and others. 

​

Within this safe and enriching environment, I use evidence-based practices (EBPs) that are matched to the needs and cultural presentation of my clients, commonly referred to as an integrative approach. I draw from mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral approaches including Compassion-focused Therapy (CFT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), as well using transpersonal and family systems theory. There is no "one size- fits all" model to therapy, and therefore, I focus on adapting these techniques, my therapeutic style, and the direction of therapy to best meet your needs and goals.

I am committed to helping you grow, find deeper insight and more clarity, and improve your relationship with yourself and others.
