Hi there, I'm Yara!

I work from a person-centered approach to understand your worldview so we can achieve progress toward your unique therapy goals. I focus on creating a collaborative space where your perspective guides our work together.

My focus

I enjoy working with LGBTQIA2S+ individuals and their families, as well as first-generation and immigrant clients. We can explore how your intersectionality shapes your worldview and the challenges of navigating different cultural expectations. I help clients work through PTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction, and stress during transition periods.

My approach

My approach varies based on your needs. I draw on Person-Centered therapy and bring in tools from Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, along with Motivational Interviewing and Expressive Art Therapy. These modalities help us build a shared understanding of your worldview and chart a path forward together.
