Top Northern Mariana Islands therapists who accept cash payments

My goal for individuals I work with is to provide them with a platform to rise from stagnation that mood disorder often creates. Helping individuals re-shape their perspective on their own lives' events in order to find their own strength has worked for many afflicted with depression and anxiety. The vastitude of life hinders one’s ability to see their better paths to pursue. A listening ear and supportive environment in which individuals feel safe to process their distress will accelerate their progress and give them inner power to take new direction. Fostering such strength with a proper processing approach and suggestions where warranted will free individuals to capture the quality of life they deserve. With therapy success and resolution of immediate distress, continuing sporadic meetings can be helpful to maintain progress and ensure success of a healthier lifestyle. I am here for you when you are ready to begin a journey to discover inner strength and overcome the challenges of life.

I am a licensed psychologist with more than ten years of clinical experience working with adults in a variety of settings. I specialize in the treatment of substance use disorders, mood disorders, anxiety and trauma-related disorders, chronic pain, sleep disorders, and identity and adjustment/transition issues. I practice from a strength-based approach using a multicultural lens that takes into account how our intersecting identities, past experiences, and systems can affect our thoughts, feelings, and reactions. I work collaboratively with clients to identify unhelpful patterns and develop healthy coping strategies to live a life that is consistent with their values.

I'm a clinical psychologist dedicated to being a mindful collaborator along your wellness journey. I believe in the process of reflection, learning, acceptance, and self-care as contributors to a healthy, whole self. Although the majority of my work is with anxiety, trauma, stress-management, mood symptoms, and life adjustments, I have supported individuals working with an array of behavioral health challenges. I have worked for over 15 years as a psychologist in private practice, hospitals, and telemedicine. Most often, therapy will include mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology, acceptance and commitment therapy, solution-focused care, and experiential treatment. My goal is to walk with you on this health journey and to help facilitate the changes necessary to achieve peace, joy, and overall wellness.
