All behavior has a purpose. Understanding why we behave in different ways is the first step toward deciding if we want to change our thoughts, feelings, and actions. As a person-centered therapist, your perspective matters to me. I want to understand what matters most to you. I offer non-judgmental support in a culturally-sensitive, compassionate environment. I believe clients have their own answers within themselves and I can help clients discover their own solutions using a positive, strength-based, mindful approach. I am here to help you identify personal goals and support you on your journey.

Everyone has the innate capacity to grow through difficulties and my goal is to support and empower you to connect to your inherent inner resources. I work with adults struggling with life transitions, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship issues, self esteem, divorce, stress, and behavioral addictions such as porn and shopping. I believe that growth occurs through caring, compassion and learning to reconnect with the wisdom of your body. We will build on your strengths and shed the negative messages of dominant systems. We will discover what you really care about to establish loving connections to yourself and others.

I specialize in working with teens and adults across the lifespan with challenges like: trauma, self-esteem, body image, anxiety and mood disorders, impulse disorders, behavioral issues, grief, gender and identity.
My approach to therapeutic work comes out of radical love for humans and their healing. Therapy is a place to build strong relationships through authentic connection. When people are able to be fully seen as who they are, in their truth, we can start to think about changes and tap into our personal wisdom; our bodies, minds, and spirits have wisdom that I hope we will find in our work together. As a therapist, I show up as myself and hope to encourage my clients to show up as who they are and connect on that level. I approach my work aligned with my core values: connection, compassion, curiosity, creativity, and community.

My counseling approach draws upon social justice frameworks, ecological systems theory, cognitive behavior theory, REBT, strengths-based perspectives, internal family systems, attachment theory and trauma-informed approaches.
I wish to serve people of color and other marginalized groups who have experienced chronic oppression and injustices. I would love to work with individuals, couples and families who are ready to step into their power and reclaim their voice. I wish to serve those who are in need of healing and need assistance processing grief, loss, frustration and exhaustion from life's trials and adversities. Being a person of color poses many challenges in this country and seeking help from professionals who look or talk nothing like you makes it far more difficult. I see you and I'm here for you.

In my work with those between the ages of 12 and 29, I take a solution-focused approach. I believe in moving forward versus backwards by helping young people envision their preferred future. I take an interest in previous achievements and believe in uncovering the motivation required to take next steps. It’s never too early, or too late, to begin planning for the type of life one desires to live.

You’ve made it this far which lets me know you are brave and likely ready to make some changes in your life. Together we can explore your emotional needs and overcome barriers that limit your full potential, get in the way of your relationships, or keep you stuck. There are many things we can do on our own, but true self-discovery and positive, enduring change is more likely to occur within the context of a caring and committed therapeutic relationship. Together we can pay close attention to what’s bothering you, and to what you need, so that you can begin to develop a healthier self and more loving, fulfilling relationships.

All around us the world has been shifting. Maybe at one point it all made sense: your feelings, sensations, and reactions (even the dark and heightened ones) felt known and even comforting. But now you are looking for a new way to be and a different understanding – a path forward and a way to endure your struggle. If you are someone who believes that each of us know our own wounds, that we possess a strong inner wisdom, and that we have the ability to access the latent potential to grow and change – or, you want to believe – you will find a good fit with me and my therapeutic offerings.

I believe that the root of therapy is about finding connection to the self, and through that, more deeply connecting to others and the world. As a therapist, I work to cultivate a space where you feel witnessed, deeply supported, and celebrated. My approach to working with clients is relational, strengths-based, exploratory, and collaborative. In our work together, we will explore what it means to be human and the suffering that comes with it, examine the narratives and beliefs you hold about yourself, delve into what brings meaning to your life, and reflect and process past wounds in an effort to move towards healing.

Behavioral Issues Therapists
What happens in therapy for behavioral issues?
No matter the type of therapy, individuals form an alliance with the therapist; that connection is often therapeutic in itself, plus it becomes an instrument of change. Individuals learn to identify situations that are especially troublesome for them and acquire new patterns of thinking and behaving. In therapy for ADHD, one of the most common behavior issues for children, individuals learn how to improve frustration tolerance, control impulsivity, manage attentional focus, and gain skills of self-organisation.
What therapy types help with behavioral issues?
Many types of therapy have been found effective, each targeting one or more areas of dysfunction. Perhaps best-known and most widely tested is cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT), in which individuals learn new behavioral strategies and curb reactivity to frustrating or distressing situations that trigger disruptive behaviour. Anger, anxiety, mood disorders, impulse control problems are commonly addressed in CBT. Family therapy or parent management training is often helpful to reduce parent-child conflict and behavioral difficulties at home.
How long does therapy last for behavioral issues?
Among popular approaches to treating behavioral concerns, CBT is considered a short-term therapy intended to be administered in 15 to 20 weekly sessions. Parent training in behavior management, often used when the underlying cause of behavior issues is ADHD in children under 12, usually occurs in weekly sessions for 8 to 16 weeks. When behavioral issues stem from persistent aggression or defiance, therapy may last for months, and usually targets both children and their parents.
How effective is therapy for behavior issues?
Studies show that therapy for behavior issues in children is highly effective and may prevent the development of antisocial behavior later in life. Family intervention—parent management training or family therapy, both of which involve parents and children together—is considered most effective, notably for children under age 12 who persistently engage in aggressive, defiant, rule-breaking or other disruptive behavior. Whether provided alone or in combination with medication, CBT is highly effective in helping people regulate their emotions, and for people with ADHD, it addresses impulsiveness, hyperactivity and attentional focus.
