Therapy Philosophy
I do not believe in rigid, one-size-fits-all approaches. Evidence-based techniques, including CBT, DBT, psychodynamic therapy, and somatic methods, are adapted to each individual’s needs, goals, and readiness for change. My focus is on compassionate, client-centered care that honors each person’s lived experience and cultural context.
Why I Do This Work:
My passion lies in helping people navigate periods of overwhelm, emotional exhaustion, and life challenges. I see therapy as a collaborative process where understanding comes before change. My role is to create a safe space where clients can explore difficult experiences, express themselves freely, and develop clarity and balance in their lives.
