My clients are hard-working and desire a better quality of life. They are willing to be challenged, trying new techniques to move forward. I use information about normal developmental transitions to move people when they are stuck. The focus is on identity and spirituality as themes I weave into my work. This does not mean organized religion, rather concepts such as connections, acceptance, peace, and letting go. If you choose to combine religion and spiritualuity, for your own growth, that is your choice.

I view therapy as the process of putting together a puzzle with many pieces that resemble our identities, experiences, relationships, and all the different parts of who we are. My role as your therapist is to accompany you in this process of putting together some pieces of the puzzle through curiosity and reflection. I believe you are the expert in your life and that I can use my training and experience as tools that can guide us both in this process.

I believe that each client has a story to share, stemming from a diverse and unique background - and seek to hold clients in a safe, nurturing space that is truly their own.

I am passionate about exploring ways to help clients discover their own resiliency and live more authentically in order to create the mental and emotional space to reach their fullest potential.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families facing various struggles and difficulties.

I believe that every person possesses all the strengths and tools to achieve their healing goals, allowing them to thrive, and that it is my role to assist them in accessing and utilizing those strengths. In my past experience providing professional services to survivors of gender-based violence I have witnessed how profoundly trauma impacts the lives of those who experience it, as well as the lives of those who love them. I have been amazed at the strength and resilience of survivors and have seen the incredible capacity people have to heal, grow and change.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults from a variety of cultural backgrounds. While I tend conceptualize from a psychodynamic perspective, my treatment tends towards a more integrative model. I often use treatment techniques from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused treatment. I believe that one theory alone is not necessarily going to apply to every individual from a multitude of cultures and backgrounds.

Trust, empathy, and respect are the foundation upon which any valuable relationship is built, including the relationship between a therapist and a client. I strive to create that sort of caring relationship with clients from the time of our first meeting.

Keeping things inside us is a terrible, lonely weight. It may start off feeling manageable, but it eventually builds up. Often we find it difficult to share with others, because we don’t want to burden them or be seen as “needy.” At these points, I think we just need someone to be honest with about our experiences and needs, without fear of judgment. When we notice we’re having the same thoughts and problems coming up repeatedly, we might need a push to get us unstuck. When an old hurt arises, we may need the space to explore it and the skills to ground ourselves in the present.

"Where your mind goes, your body follows". You feel like you've lost control, and your body agrees. The thoughts seem to be in charge, and tell you when to eat, when to move, and when to engage with others. You can see your relationships deteriorating as the thoughts, the habits, and the compulsions seem to become all the more engrossing. The more you give in, the louder they become, and it seems like a game you were never destined to win. How isolating it can be to believe, even for a moment, that we are alone in these experiences. I am here to assure you that you are not.

I utilize a growth-oriented approach to empower people to problem solve and make changes to pursue the life they envision. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) strategies are used in my practice, with an emphasis on the use of trauma-sensitive mindfulness, to equip people with the skills needed to overcome life’s stressors and challenges. In dialectics, we acknowledge the opposing sides of each experience and work together to synthesize the two. I prioritize developing a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship that will meet you where you are at in your journey, and will come alongside you to cultivate your strengths.

I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy. We can all feel lost, scared, confused, or overwhelmed by what life has thrown at us.
