About

After spending 14 years learning about the human brain and mind, being trained extensively in various treatments, and working since 2009 in several settings, I learned to focus on what you personally struggle with and need to change. I believe treating you as a whole person, not just focusing on the disorder, is essential to positive change and finding your purpose. There is much more to us than having a disorder. Therefore, I listen to you and know you well in order to tailor the treatment plan that fits you and your most important needs. My end goal is to help you find your path, which is critical to leading a meaningful life. Fighting addiction, depression/anxiety, and PTSD is not an easy task. Since 2009, I have worked with clients who struggle with one or more of these symptoms. Applying evidence-based approaches, changing clients' faulty assumptions, and finding HOPE are the keys to a successful outcome while keeping the culture and ethnicity in mind. "It is not one size fits all." Empathy, genuine acceptance, and understanding are essential to change. Many people are looking for a magic pill. Change and growth require working with a therapist who truly cares about your well-being and is willing to listen attentively to you. Growth is only obtained outside of your comfort zone. Change is the only constant aspect of our lives.
