Are you feeling stuck in achieving your goals and dreams? Are you struggling with a mental health condition or dealing with life stressors or simply in search of personal growth? I use postmodern approaches in my clinical work to help you meet your unique needs. We don’t always have to dig into the past, we can start working together to make changes right now. I work with all age groups from children to older adults. Some of my evidence-based techniques include mindfulness, art therapy, and sand tray therapy. Let me show you the way to recognize your inherent capacity for change.
I firmly believe that with the right support, anyone can achieve positive transformation in their lives. Whether you're seeking individual, couples, or family therapy, I approach each client with respect and take into account multicultural differences.
If you're considering therapy let’s start right away and begin working together. Call me for a free 15 min phone consultation if you want to make sure we are the right fit. I’m ready to assist you on your journey towards growth, healing, and fulfillment.
