" If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself. If you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation." —Lao Tzu If you’re seeking support in managing anxiety, depression, social challenges, or any related mental health concern, I would love to help. I provide clients of all ages with an empathetic approach to help them overcome persistent patterns that negatively impact their daily life experiences. When working with children, my therapeutic approach revolves around utilizing developmentally appropriate strategies to enhance their coping skills. By understanding the distinct needs of children, I aim to meet them where they are, fostering an environment where they can boost their sense of empowerment and self-confidence. Although my overall method is diverse, my approach is influenced by evidence-based practices like Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). Additionally, I incorporate the use of Self-Compassion and Mindfulness strategies to support my clients' emotional growth. I look forward to talking with you to determine if I am the right fit for your specific mental health needs.
