Reconciled. No matter what, you can become, are deserving of and worth reconciliation. Whether with yourselves, others, your past or anything else, you can be reconciled. This is a multilayered word with multiple meanings, such as to restore, to harmonize, settle, make consistent with another, and accepting an unwelcomed thing. Personally, I think this word tells us that there is a chance, a hope, a shot at being, living and becoming healed, transformed and whole. You can become better regardless of past and/or present circumstances and/or struggles.

My clients often share that they feel heard, seen, and celebrated as individuals throughout therapy. I apply research-backed, trauma-informed, multi-culturally competent individual therapy to instill hope, self-compassion, and empowerment in young people.

Oftentimes, people just need someone to listen to them, to help them work through an issue, and sort out their feelings. That's where I come in as a licensed psychotherapist as well as a medical social worker. I'm skilled at hearing what people are saying and helping them to figure out strategies for improving their situation. I work with a variety of clients ---men, women and children from all sexualities, gender identities, and races to help them with all sorts of issues. My clientele ranges in ages; however, a majority of my clients are in their early 30's.

Leading at the top means constant pressure: meeting tight deadlines, making critical decisions, and upholding high expectations. This relentless stress can undermine your effectiveness and impact your personal life. You're seeking to master this stress to boost your performance and well-being, and to inspire your team. You need practical stress management solutions that integrate seamlessly into your demanding schedule, helping you stay calm and focused. Your goal? To transform stress from a barrier into a catalyst for leadership excellence and professional growth.

Compulsive behaviors impact all aspects of one’s life, including thoughts, feelings, and actions. They can lead to various addictions, including substance use, sex, social media, relationships, gambling, and more. People with compulsive behaviors often struggle to align their actions with personal goals. For more than twenty years, I have supported individuals struggling with compulsive behaviors. I built my practice upon the idea that anyone can recover if given the right tools and environment, and I aim to provide a safe space where clients gain insight into their emotions, experiences, and behavioral patterns.

Do you lose your temper in an instant? Do you find it difficult to stay calm when people don't do what you want them to do? Is your anger putting your job or relationships at risk? Feelings of anger can play a positive role in our lives, letting us know when something is wrong. Unfortunately, without the right tools to express our emotions in healthy and appropriate ways, anger can be a destructive force. But you can learn how to stay in control of your behavior and communicate calmly.
