I put the therapeutic relationship at the forefront of my work, believing that a strong bond and collaboration between patient and therapist facilitates the healing process. I primarily draw from a psychodynamic, culturally-sensitive approach that helps my patients embark on a journey of self-discovery, guiding them through a deeper understanding of how early attachments, traumas, and multigenerational patterns affect them in the present day. Together, we will channel insight and curiosity to help uncover stuck points and unlock space for meaningful growth. 

Through tactful and respectful confrontation, I help my patients unknot certain longstanding, deeply-rooted beliefs. My approachability, authenticity, and injection of humor into the therapy space helps create a strong alliance that bolsters the therapeutic process.

I primarily practice through a psychodynamic lens, using this treatment style to ground my understanding of how past experiences can shape and inform our current lives. I will often supplement this approach with more structured skill-building strategies—such as those drawn from CBT—to help develop a foundation of effective coping and meaningful day-to-day change.
