Are you struggling with anxiety or depression or a parent of a child or teen who is struggling with anxiety or depression? Searching for the best person to turn to for help can very well be another source of stress. I am passionate about working with children, teens, adults and their families. I fully understand how important developing a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust and understanding can be for one’s road to health and well-being, and I’d be honored to help you along this path. By blending the skills I’ve learned through trauma-informed practices, relational-oriented and mindfulness-based therapies, as well as Dialectical Behavior Therapy, I establish a supportive space for my clients to explore their feelings and vulnerabilities so that they can learn new ways of coping to make meaningful changes in a safe and realistic way. I treat a range of issues such as severe anxiety, depression, codependency, trauma, emotional regulation, low self-esteem, social skills or school issues. Tapping into my client’s strengths, building their sense of competency, self-love and motivation for growth is what I love most, thereby helping my clients to continue to grow and prosper throughout life.
