By focusing on these few specialties I am able to provide effective treatment to help you better manage your moods, identify and change problematic thinking patterns, and stop self-destructive or unwanted behaviors--all of which can contribute to a greater sense of calm and self-confidence.

Do you struggle with anxiety that is starting to affect your day-to-day life? Has trauma interfered with your ability to function? Do you feel exhausted by just getting through the day? Do you wonder if life could feel better? Now more than ever, people are feeling overwhelmed by the idea that there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Not addressing the challenges in your life can lead to feeling disconnected from yourself or others, falling behind at work/school, and general feelings of stress. I firmly believe that people can evolve and that there is hope for everyone to reach their fullest potential.

Navigating life is challenging, and sometimes we could use a little help becoming the best versions of ourselves. Sometimes we struggle with depression, anxiety, life transitions, self-esteem issues, relationship challenges, stress, racial identity, feeling stuck, and traumatic situations.

This a group practice that employs clinicans of various ethnicities and backgrounds. People come to therapy due to feeling excessive stress at work, at home, or in their relationships. They find the pressures of everyday life have exceeded their abilities, overwhelmed their senses, and left them with an inability to cope. They are often having problems with school, completing tasks, getting along with others at work, and finding activities enjoyable. We believe in the resiliency of the human spirit, and that therapy is a process of exploring and getting to know oneself.

Are you struggling in life and feeling stuck? Do you believe no one understands or fully sees you? Are you finding certain adaptive behaviors no longer serving you and you’re tired of repeating the same mistakes? As a trauma-informed and certified EMDR therapist, I have successfully worked with adolescents and adults who often feel overwhelmed. They struggle due to their fractured sense of self and relationships, grief and loss, and unprocessed past traumas/stress. In our sessions, I establish a warm working relationship in which my clients know they will be met with respect and empathy, while experiencing a true sense of belonging.

Let’s face it: being human is hard. Even when “everything is ok,” we live at one million miles per minute resulting in stress, anxiety, and overwhelm. I am an avid believer that we are all capable of living the lives we want, but sometimes we need someone to support us by means of facilitating exploration, understanding, and acceptance of ourselves and circumstances. "Satisfaction" is not attained by "perfection," rather, it stems from the ability to confidently navigate challenges through value driven decision making. Furthermore, as our lives change and we evolve across the lifespan, this process is likely to change.
