What is therapy like? What does a typical session with you look like?

My passion lies in supporting individuals as they navigate life’s challenges and discover pathways to healing. I incorporate evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy and mindfulness to foster growth and resilience. I am committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, build coping strategies, and work toward meaningful change. My experience consists of working with individuals facing mental health and substance use challenges—ranging from anxiety, depression, grief and trauma to the complex issues related to Alzheimer’s and dementia—I strive to offer empathy, patience, and guidance throughout the therapeutic journey.

Our practice is committed to providing cultural competency in the care that we provide. We work with all populations. We take pride in providing ethical care for all. Spanish services available.

Let's talk through some of the challenges which may have been lingering in mind for a long time. Often times we can find these challenges can limit you from taking the next step in your life, and I understand having some of those experiences as well. Perhaps some of those feelings include feeling anxious or down about a variety of things, or perhaps struggling with conflict within your family that make even the smallest decisions seem impossible.
