My therapeutic approach is primarily grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), while also integrating person-centered and culturally responsive perspectives. I believe our thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, and cultural experiences are deeply interconnected and all play an important role in shaping our well-being. Through CBT, I support clients in identifying unhelpful thought patterns, developing healthier coping strategies, and building practical skills to navigate life’s challenges. At the same time, I value the person-centered foundations of empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard, which help foster a strong, supportive therapeutic relationship.

​

In my work with clients, I strive to meet each person where they are and tailor therapy to their unique needs, goals, values, and cultural experiences. I view clients as the experts of their own lives and believe therapy is most meaningful when it is collaborative. Rather than telling clients what to do, my role is to support them in exploring their experiences, deepening self-understanding, identifying strengths, and creating meaningful change. I am committed to providing a respectful, affirming, and nonjudgmental space where clients can feel safe, empowered, and supported in their personal growth.
