Intro

I am deeply committed to promoting psychological wellness and improving quality of life, particularly among seniors. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals, families, and groups across a wide spectrum of needs, including adjustment disorders, depression, grief and loss, trauma recovery, cognitive decline, chronic illness, and social isolation, issues that frequently affect the geriatric community. My clinical approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and cultural awareness, incorporating techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution-focused approaches, and positive psychology to help individuals overcome obstacles and reach their fullest potential.

How would you describe your approach to care?

I am here to assist you in facilitating the change you desire. My passion as a therapist lies in helping individuals overcome mental health challenges and reach their fullest potential. I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches, including music, poetry, movement, art, cognitive behavioral therapy, and positive psychology. These methods allow me to meet you where you are and support you as you identify and overcome the obstacles that may be hindering your progress.

What should be expected in the first session?

During your first session you can expect empathy, patience, and genuineness. This will be the time that we get to know each other and you are able to ask me questions, if you desire. I want you to understand that you are the expert of your life and I am here to help you facilitate the change you desire. This is a safe place and, more than anything, I want you to feel comfortable. I look forward to seeing you soon as you embark on this new journey.
