About me

Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you’re already dealing with stress, relationship difficulties, or questions about who you are and what you’re going through. You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting. Sometimes, having a space where you can talk openly and feel genuinely heard is already an important beginning.

I work with young adults navigating emotional challenges, recurring patterns, and identity-related concerns, including LGBTQ+ topics. My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), helping us understand how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected, while also developing practical ways to deal with what you’re experiencing in your daily life.

My background includes experience in different clinical settings. I provided brief psychological interventions in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU), supporting patients and families in high-stress and emotionally intense situations. I also worked in a Women’s Police Department, offering psychological support to individuals affected by domestic violence and abuse during supervised internship.

In addition, I have clinical experience providing psychotherapy using CBT in a supervised setting, working with clients on a weekly basis. I also spent three years working with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD through Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), focusing on behavioral interventions, emotional regulation, and individualized support.

In our sessions, my goal is to offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can feel comfortable being yourself, while also helping you build clarity, emotional understanding, and practical ways to move forward.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioural therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Clinical psychologyRecommended for those who need help with diagnosing and treating more complex mental health issues, often involving assessments and evidence-based treatments.

My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), focusing on how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected in everyday life. I work collaboratively with clients to understand their experiences and identify patterns that may be contributing to distress.

Sessions combine reflection with practical tools, helping you make sense of what you’re going through while also finding ways to deal with it in your daily life.

I aim to offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, while also having a clear and structured path forward.
