WELCOME!

I am a bicultural therapist who takes a holistic approach to mental health, combining traditional clinical counseling with principles from health psychology, emotional work, and mind-body practices.
I believe lasting healing begins with understanding the underlying causes of emotional distress—not simply managing symptoms. While medication can be an important part of treatment for some people, I don't believe it should always be the first or only approach. My goal is to help you understand why your mind and body are responding the way they are and addressing those underlying patterns through evidence-based therapy, lifestyle changes, and greater self-awareness.A big part of my therapy also relies on emotional work. Emotions play an important role in our bodies—they speak to what is happening within us whether it's a metal struggle or physical pain. When we suppress them, we can develop physical tension, inflammation, emotional numbness, poor coping skills, or depression. Together, we will work on understanding, managing, and expressing your emotions so they don’t remain trapped in your body. We may incorporate mindfulness or expressive techniques to help you slow down, tolerate, and accept difficult feelings, because when you are emotionally at peace, you are fully able to take steps toward your goals.In addition to understanding your emotions—which are often influenced by your thinking—we will challenge unhelpful thought patterns through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This approach can be especially helpful for individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, PTSD, chronic stress, chronic pain, or challenges related to health and wellness.Our bodies are a reflection to our internal external self-care. It's important to nourish our cells through foods that best support our organs and muscles, boost our brain with "happy" feelings, and relax our nervous system.I believe that healing begins in a relationship where you feel safe, understood, and accepted. My role is to listen with compassion, respect your unique journey, and work alongside you to help you achieve the goals that matter most to you. My hope is that you leave therapy feeling more empowered, resilient, and connected to yourself and the life you want to live.
