I am skilled at inner child work, using Bradshaw's work with other empowering methods.
I am here to help you get unstuck and reclaim your natural state of joy, well-being, purpose, and vitality. "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure (Marianne Williamson)." In our fast-paced world, it's easy to lose touch with ourselves and our sense of well-being. This has led to a rise in depression/anxiety, substance abuse, marital/relationship issues, and other difficulties. I am skilled at alleviating these symptoms and have been successful in working with individuals, couples, children/adolescents, and families of all ages backgrounds.

I help kids, grownups, and everyone in between find their own True Voice, so they can live the lives they deserve.
Maybe your child is misbehaving at school, or your teenager is sullen and distanced, or you're in love and know you'd like to stay with this person, if you could only change a few things that really scare you. Or maybe there's an aggressive part of you that your parents didn't know how to handle, or a hurt and vulnerable side that you've always felt too ashamed to feel.

I have additional experience working with adults and transitional age youth who have developmental disabilities with co-occuring disorders and helping families who have children with developmental disabilities.
Welcome. Sometimes things are complicated. We keep feeling a certain way or doing something and don't understand why. Sometimes things are more simple. We understand what we want, maybe even how to get there but just need a little support along the way. I work with individuals, couples and families to help them achieve the changes they wish to see in their lives, big or small, complicated or not.

While there, I worked as a Behavioral Health Child Specialist and treated patients from a wide variety of backgrounds with histories of trauma and abuse, abandonment, mood disorders, grief, anxiety, behavioral problems, anger, and impulse control issues, among others.
A necessary component of a rich and fulfilling life involves experiencing a full range of emotions. The pride of accomplishment, the sadness of loss, the security of trust and the pain when it is broken, the joy of love, and the disappointment of mistakes and missed opportunities all play an important role in our lives. We all deserve to appreciate our own successes and good fortunes, and to be able to grow through and from our misfortunes. We also all deserve help navigating through them. I began my career in the field in 2007 at an acute psychiatric hospital, primarily in the child/adolescent unit.

It may be that you are subject to anxiety or a depression that is too absorbing, it may be that you lack the sort of confidence in your abilities to find the right way to find direction: or it may be that you feel something is missing in your life, be it an intimate relation with another or the right sort of vocation.

I am passionate about helping my clients explore the intersections of adoption, racial/ethnic identity, childhood trauma, confidence, and major life transitions. Throughout life, we continually revisit and re-negotiate our understanding of the experiences that have shaped us. It’s especially hard if you’ve been impacted by unique circumstances such as international/domestic adoption, multi-cultural family, or even just the experience of being a minority in America. I provide a warm and safe space that allows clients to explore their authentic self.

I work with creatives, professionals, and men. On New York State of Mind, Nas sings, "I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death.” Maybe you too aim for excellence, work hard, and crush goals. But you haven’t found a work-life balance, or your current role is smaller than your aspirations. Or you relate to Propaganda's line “I’m not the artist I’m the canvas” and you create and inspire others through art, music, design, etc. But you are not inspired in daily life. It’s hard to translate that creative process to your personal habits, relationships, coping skills and day to day living.
