When we feel stuck in our situation, it can create feelings of hopelessness. In addition to the many problems that complicate our daily lives such as anxiety, panic attacks, depression, patients come to me with complex relationship issues including marital distress, divorce recovery, verbal & emotional abuse, loss of child, parent, or spouse. I approach therapy from a holistic perspective, to address the root problem, not just the symptoms. Like physical therapy, the goal is to get well and end treatment. I offer perspective on your experience, and provide clear, concise directions on meeting your treatment goals.

You may find working together to be supportive if you are grieving the loss of a pregnancy and need a private space to sort through your thoughts, beliefs, and emotions about it. Many women benefit from being able to speak frankly about their loss experience. You may also find it helpful to work together if you are in a relationship where you feel fundamentally confused, doubt yourself, worry about wearing your friendships thin by talking about your relationship too much, or find yourself thinking that you have to be sure you have tried everything before leaving. You deserve this support and you are not "crazy."

Throughout the years, I have worked with a wide range of clients, including addiction, severe mental health, postpartum, and chronic illness. I have learned I am most passionate about working with those who struggle with intergenerational trauma or acculturation conflict, parenting issues, or life transitions. My clients may internally struggle with not conforming to what's expected of them and as a result find themselves feeling anxious, depressed, or dissatisfied with their current state. Together, we will identify goals and with some guidance embrace change to achieve success.

Choosing a therapist can be a daunting process - you want to find someone you'll 'click with' and whose style meets your needs. I'm an interactive therapist and I do more than just ask "how does that make you feel?" A lot happens in a single session. I keep things moving along, edging towards your goals, and calling you on things that are in conflict with what you say you want. I offer a safe space for you to be heard, understood, and challenged.
