Individual Therapy

Expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

There are many reasons to seek out therapy. The ultimate purpose for considering therapy is often to resolve whatever is in the way of having a better life.

As an active, empathic and experienced psychotherapist, my goal is to assist individuals in overcoming the barriers that prevent them from experiencing, the relationships in their lives in a full and rich way.

I work to understand each individual's unique struggle, while respecting personal history and cultural background. Ultimately, I help individuals to see how past experiences and behavioral patterns may contribute to their current symptoms and difficulties.

Personalized Treatment Plans

My psychology treatment plan is specialized to an individual's goals and needs, varying in terms of time, modality and focus (DBT, Ego-Psychology, TLDP, Object-Relations, Multicultural, and Motivational interviewing MI). I use treatment interventions that are experientially researched and found to be effective

Compassionate and Non-Judgmental Environment

I understand that seeking therapy can be a difficult and vulnerable experience. That's why at Anger Detox, we strive to create a safe and non-judgmental environment where clients can feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings. Treatment only works when you feel safe, understood, and work with someone who has the expertise and experience to help you, but is also real and genuine in session.
