Certainly! Here’s the final revised version of your message, incorporating all the details you provided:

As a therapist trained in evidence-based techniques, I deeply respect the mind, body, and spirit of each client. Entering therapy can be an intimidating yet courageous step, and I am here to support you in finding the relief and change you seek.

In my practice, I address a wide range of needs and work with clients of all ages, offering a personalized approach tailored to each individual's unique needs. Together, we can create insight into the events and transitions that have shaped your current experiences, fostering real and lasting change for the future. I provide a warm and compassionate approach, creating a non-judgmental space for self-exploration.

My holistic approach encompasses physical well-being, including nutritional habits, sleep hygiene, activity level, and social factors, alongside emotional well-being. I utilize a combination of modalities, from unstructured therapy addressing issues in the moment to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tailored to specific concerns.

I specialize in body-oriented trauma healing as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and am a certified Sex Therapist with additional training in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. Additionally, I am a therapist at Octave, a behavioral health practice dedicated to setting a new standard for high-quality, accessible mental health care.

My areas of focus include depression, anxiety, interpersonal relationships, and sexuality. My approach is collaborative and trauma-informed, aiming to reduce feelings of fear, shame, and judgment. I treat individuals, couples, and polycules, and provide an affirming, safe space for a variety of mental health and relationship issues. I have expertise in issues related to sexuality, gender, kink, and non-monogamous relationship structures, and I support psychedelic-assisted treatments for PTSD, depression, and anxiety, offering ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.

I offer psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and adults in individual and family settings. My areas of specialty include:

• Anger and distress tolerance
• Anxiety
• ADHD
• Child behavioral problems
• Depression
• Impulse control
• Emotional regulation skills
• PTSD
• School-related concerns
• Self-esteem and confidence
• Social skills
• Stress management

Additionally, we specialize in child custody, immigration, DUI, and surgical evaluations.

Successful therapy is never one-size-fits-all. I understand that each person has different needs and goals, and the most important predictor of success is a trusting client-therapist relationship. Let me support you along the way.

Would you like to rid yourself of constant worry and anxiety? Do you seem to get trapped in your thoughts? Are you struggling with something personal and are not sure where to turn? Working on yourself and your relationships is a natural part of life. We can collaborate in a warm and safe therapeutic environment to encourage change and promote self-awareness. Together, we can identify and work on goals while helping you navigate difficult life issues.
