Treatment - Services

Treatment Approach

My behavioral-cognitive approach integrates sensitivity and respect for each client’s lived experience. I take into account how factors such as racial or ethnic identity, country of origin, physical abilities, sexual and gender identity, and spiritual or religious beliefs shape self-perception, life choices, and coping strategies. This awareness is an essential part of the healing process and supports meaningful, lasting change.


Areas of Focus

  • Trauma
  • Stress management
  • Sexual or physical abuse recovery
  • Anxiety and chronic worry
  • Depression
  • Intimacy, relationship, and connection challenges
  • Anger management
  • Workplace performance and career-related concerns
  • Coping with medical conditions or physical illness
  • Grief and mourning (including loss of employment, relationships, or pets)
  • Self-esteem and personal growth


Telehealth Services

I offer secure virtual therapy sessions via video or phone, making it easier to access support and care in a way that fits your lifestyle and well-being needs.
