Although we all have our struggles and make mistakes, we are each deserving of care and compassion. I take an integrationist approach to therapy and adjust my therapeutic stance according to my client’s needs. I prioritize listening to my clients and providing a safe space for them to explore their thoughts and emotions. I have worked in a wide range of settings, including college counseling, hospitals, and correctional settings, which has given me an appreciation for different cultures, perspectives, and lifestyles. My hope is to help people feel understood, valued, and accepted, no matter their background or situation.

People who've struggled with their cultural identity, experienced painful traumas, and lost loved ones cannot resolve their challenges by simply "thinking differently". Clients' are stuck in their pain points, which require a deep sense of validation of their suffering and emotions before their whole being can move forward. Clients who learn to self-acknowledge, utilize tools to regulate in the midst of challenges, and build their foundation on true values can then live the authentic life they've desired. A life based on choosing their responses, rather than merely reacting to situations.

Life is complicated. Messy. Painful. And it’s easy to lose sight of life’s beauty and joy when we’re hurting. I believe the human connection we form through therapy is key to healing and growth, as confronting pain and suffering together allows life’s beauty and joy to re-emerge. If you choose to work with me, I will use our connection to determine when and how to shift in and out of various roles, so you might experience me as many things: investigator, mentor, observer, coach, ally. But above all, we engage together as fellow human beings living in this complex world, with the shared endeavor of improving your well-being.

(Note: I am NOT the therapist known as "the Angry therapist." We share the same name =) ). I understand how hard it can be to find a quality therapist, counselor, or life coach. It is no easy task to find someone who not only understands the issues you are working on, but who also "gets you" as a person. It is my hope to make this search easier. Whether you decide to call me for a free consultation, set up an appointment with me, or let me provide you referral, I hope that after talking with me, you are one step closer to finding the help you seek.

You are innately worthy. When you truly believe and remember that, your life falls into place. I help clients feel heard, seen, and grounded so they can experience honesty in their relationships, fulfillment in their work, and confidence in themselves. In my former life as a TV producer and comedian, I loved operating at a high level while making people laugh – no matter how dark or difficult things sometimes seemed. This quality eventually led me to become a therapist. As your therapist, I can help you optimize your work, harness your creativity, and find balance in your life; all with a healthy dose of humor and authenticity.

My therapeutic approach mainly focuses on helping my clients identify their strengths to help alleviate anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am a firm believer that our childhood experiences contribute to our beliefs, behavioral patterns, and selecting a romantic partner. Therapy is a process! To allow ourselves to be intimate and vulnerable with someone about our experiences and trauma can be daunting. As a therapist, it is my goal to help validate, create a safe environment and help understand aspects of lived experiences.
