You are not only good enough, you are BETTER than good enough. I know it may not *feel* like it at times. The harsh inner critic, the inability to make (or trust yourself to make) decisions, the putting on a brave face when on the inside you just want to scream…the things that keep you stuck…are getting in the way of you living the life you deserve. And deep down, you know it’s time for a change. It’s time to treat yourself the way you treat others, with care and compassion. It’s time to find your way out of the vicious cycles that keep you stuck in overwhelm, self-doubt, overthinking, perfectionism, and people-pleasing.

Our practice offers a warm retreat where your experience is honored and our expertise helps to integrate your experience into creating a life worth living. Through the principles of DBT, CBT, Spiritual Integration, and Mind-Body Connective work we believe emotional healing is possible. We understand that relationships form the context for reflection, learning and application and hope to connect you with a therapist who makes the connection work for you. With more than 20 years experience working with DBT and persons needing intensive integrative work recovering from past traumas, we offer opportunities for therapists to specialize in this work under close supervision. This allows us to offer sliding scales to our patients and to provide more options for matching with the therapist they need.

I enjoy my work! I spent 19 years working in a church-based Christian counseling center. During that time I counseled primarily women . Each woman taught me something about their relationships, their challenges, and their hearts. I believe adult women (over 18) experience a safe haven, a lot of grace, and well-developed clinical skills. My training focused on relationship issues, depression, anxiety disorders, domestic violence, and childhood abuse.

Walking in this world as a woman of color isn't easy. Being a bicultural woman of color just seems to add to the chaos and confusion of life. You might be struggling with wanting to own your identity but not really even being sure who you are. That's okay. As daughters of immigrants, we may not have it all figured out yet. We may struggle with finding a sense of belonging when we grew up among two worlds. Once we start diving into our identities, we may realize that our childhoods were not as warm and fuzzy as we wanted them to be. You may have realized you are carrying your own trauma, your parent's traumas, or both.

Welcome, anxious women ! It's great that you're finally doing something for yourself. Anxious women tend to be overwhelmed, feel that we don't matter, feel disappointed by our partner not supporting us, and worried about not being the best mom, wife, or employee that we can be. We tend to feel like life is spinning out of our reach. Many times, we even doubt ourselves and our ability to be effective. Does this describe you? I know what you're going through, and I can help.

I have been in practice since 1997 and have experience in many areas from inpatient hospitalizations, emergency room discharges, to individual/group settings. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address anxiety and depression. I believe it is the relationship with the patient and therapist which are significant to build trust and in turn facilitate change. It is important to have a treatment plan to set goals to learn healthy coping skills to address negative thought patterns. The recent years have brought such change in how we work, attend school, have relationships, and work through adversity. Therapy is key.
