Unsure if your child's behavior is age appropriate? Is your adolescent having difficulties in academics or social connections? Are you struggling with adjusting to life changes or reflecting on past experiences that cause you to feel uneasy? Not sure how to work out differences between you and your partner or within your family? I am here to help your child play out any fears, worries, and past traumas, help your adolescent feel empowered, find solutions, and discover self identity, help adults navigate life transitions, and help couples/families explore conflict. Most of all, I focus on your needs to cultivate trust and safety.
Drawn to this profession since I was a young child, through my love for relationships, wanting to help individuals in a time of need, and my deep desire to understand emotional processes and healing. As a counselor I enjoy helping children and adults learn about their emotions, identify their emotions, process the emotions, figure out the origin of emotion,
It has been my passion to help others with improving their quality of life and wellness. I believe therapy is about the want and will to better oneself in a safe space. I exercise understanding and cultural sensitivity to help create change. My purpose is to promote resilience and help people discover their strengths in overcoming hardships and challenges.
