I meet my clients where they are which is essential to helping them make the changes they desire. My professional background and experience have allowed me to work with an array of clientele that included different backgrounds and life challenges, with a decade of experience working with refugees, and abuse survivors, that have suffered from trauma. Addiction is another component that I find with my work within these populations – understanding how addiction becomes part of the family dynamics and working towards ultimate recovery is my goal as your therapist.

My experience as a therapist has taken me to diverse settings and introduced me to many different people, from small children to older adults. Along the way, I have learned that no one approach to therapy will work for everyone. Instead, I strive to establish a strong relationship with my clients by meeting them where they are. Together, we explore the unique challenges that brought them to therapy. Together, we zero in on desired therapeutic goals and lay out a fresh path toward positive change.

I have over 20 years of experience working with diverse populations who have a variety of presenting problems.

My approach is direct, but kind.

Being in a relationship be it with ourselves, our partners, family members, or friends, can make our lives feel whole and bring us so much joy. However as fulfilling as relationships can be they can also leave us feeling exhausted, stressed, and overwhelmed. Situations in our lives can make us feel down, anxious, angry, emotional, and chaotic, making us feel out of control and lead to the inability to keep healthy and positive relationships. But what if I told you it doesn't have to be that way. You deserve to feel happy and satisfied with your life.

As a Marriage & Family Therapist, my clinical area of expertise is the treatment of Depression and Anxiety Disorders, Couple/Relational Issues, Grief and Loss and Parenting Issues. Welcome to my profile, it is my belief that by entering psychotherapy, one is opening the door for change towards personal growth and fulfillment. Therapy is a collaborative process and treatment goals are reviewed throughout the course of treatment. Treatment goals consist of reducing undesired problems and symptoms while aimed at increasing insight and personal growth. Psychotherapy consists of learning more adaptive coping skills, enhancing communication and improving emotional well being.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I strive to enhance each individuals sense of self-worth and be a support in developing healthy methods to effectively cope with challenging situations and/or triggers. My approach to treatment is always client-centered. I value the importance of a strong therapeutic alliance, and see the therapeutic relationship as a key component to outcome. This begins with providing a safe and nonjudgmental environment in which each individual can explore their fears, obstacles, strengths and hopes. I have experience and enjoy working with all age groups, including advanced training in working with adolescents and young adults.

Change is constant in life. Let's work together to take control and create the life you imagine. My focus is to meet you where you are and provide collaborative support. My interventions are tailored to your unique situation and personal needs.

I believe an individual can gain awareness of their strengths and use those strengths to move toward growth and personal satisfaction. Through the therapy relationship, clients create their own goals toward growth, and are supported as they move toward experiencing the world around them in a more beneficial way.
