Life is a journey where there are moments of excitement, love, joy and celebration and times when you feel stuck, lost, and isolated along the way. You might be on a path that feels uncomfortable, even painful at times and don’t know where to turn. You are not alone. I believe that we all can achieve a deeper understanding of ourselves within a safe relationship.

Hello there! Something I know for sure is life can be wonderful and life can be difficult. By taking care of our mental health, we are better able to mange the ups, downs and turns in life and improve our functioning and life satisfaction. While there are a variety of approaches and interventions used in therapy, clients have shared what they appreciate most about working with me is my "realness" and genuineness; relatability (we are all cultural beings with emotions, thoughts and experiences); knowledge and experience; empathic directness; balance of support and challenge; calming presence; and humor (as appropriate of course!).

*Are you unable to create the future you deeply desire? *Do you find yourself ruminating about the past and doubting your ability to trust your decision? * Do you experience anxiety about your future or feeling depressed and not being able to live in the present moment? * Is your life lacking purpose and direction? * Are you watching YouTube videos and gaining knowledge but not able to take true action in your life? * Feeling not good enough. Feeling unsettled but desiring deep inner peace. *Do you find yourself people-pleasing and have a pattern of unfulfilling relationships? You deserve to feel joy. Take that first step!!

Traumatic experiences, relationship attachment woundings, and the general pressure to conform to social norms during our younger years, can cause our being to create some truly magnificent coping strategies to remain standing. Unfortunately these strategies can be digested and integrated into our identity long after they've stopped serving their purpose. I am passionate about supporting people reconnect with their true nature, by exploring parts work and somatic experiencing. Our past does not define us, and this work makes it possible to access the inspired, motivated, wisdom that exists in abundance underneath our conditioning.

I work with a wide range of people who are often feeling stuck or overwhelmed facing life’s challenges. My clients are often motivated and resourceful, looking for support, insight, and tools to help them cope with problems. Typically, they have been struggling for a long time and are looking for extra support to improve their children's lives or their own.

I am currently accepting new clients. My focus is to help families and couples who are struggling with difficult life transitions, trauma and depression find renewed hope in life.

My goal is to provide clients with a safe place to talk, sort through feelings and explore issues that may be affecting their mood, behavior, motivation or relationships. Using a combination of supportive therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, my work is about supporting clients while looking at the sources of distress and helping them to improve their reactions, make changes, and cope with life and others in a healthier way. I work with individuals, couples, and children for any issue they are struggling with either individually or as a family.

“How are you?” It seems sometimes an answer of “good” doesn’t summarize how you really feel. Things happen and you feel stuck. Sadness, loneliness and maybe hopelessness often occupy your mind. Sometimes, negative memories from the past and overly anxious thoughts about the future stop you from being in the present. It seems impossible for those around you to understand what you’re going through. Conflict, confusion, and discomfort seem like the norm, not the exception. You know something has to change and life must have more to offer, but you’re not sure where to start. If this describes your experiences, you're in the right place.

I believe being in an equilibrium state is one of the keys to maintain a healthy well being, however, we often face many challenges that could easily lead to a disequilibrium. My role as a therapist is to work with you collaboratively in order to address your needs, to guide you in understanding how your past experiences shape your present self; to help you in identifying your thought patterns and emotions that affect your behaviors; and to coach you so that you are equipped when dealing with different life challenges. By working as a team, you will eventually be able to restore the balance and maintain a healthy well being.

Maybe you've been stuck and unable to see your way forward, or you feel a burden you can't quite relieve yourself of. Often times we can find our way with the support of family or friends. But sometimes we need the help of a certified professional. I view therapy through the lens of self compassion, understanding and collaboration. It is a moving dialogue that shapes healing and being. The development of a therapeutic relationship and interventions are individualized because mental health treatment is more than treating symptoms and a diagnosis.

I specialize in helping adults and children of all ages with anxiety, depression, behavior problems, attachment issues, social learning problems, oppositional behaviors, ADHD and issues of inattention, Austism spectrum behaviors, and developmental and learning disorders. I also help parents who need support and parenting coaching around attachment, bonding, discipline, limit setting,managing behaviors, support with IEPs. For the early intervention part of my practice, I see parents and young children with issues around separation anxiety, lack of self soothing, self harming, attachment with parents, and developmental delays (language, gross motor, social emotional development, etc.)

Does your life seem put together but nervousness is your constant companion? Are you striving to make things perfect in your professional and personal life, even though it makes you feel exhausted and overwhelmed at times? Do you struggle to be present and enjoy the moment? You may be living with high functioning anxiety. While this anxiety can be a powerful motivator, it can often feel like an emotional rollercoaster. It may be impacting your sleep, your relationships and making you feel restless in your life.
