Regardless of your background or situation, there is one underlying source from which all your problems originate. The greatest, fundamental source of all your problems in the entirety of your existence. Your Mind. Although it allows you to experience pleasure and enjoyable feelings, it is also responsible for creating all of your conflicts, afflictions, and anxieties. Achieving a life free from mental wounds, results in molding the mind to becoming your greatest ally, rather than suffering from its tyrannical wrath. This is the ONLY path to a life of bliss. For all problems in this life, are viewed from the lens of the mind.

Welcome to Creative Endeavors! I am here to support you in finding the healing potential within yourself. Just as our bodies heal from a cut, under the right conditions our psyche/soul can heal and thrive. It requires us to work together to foster meaning, purpose and new life through therapy which I call a "creative endeavor." Together we can form a compassionate partnership to explore who you are, your goals, hopes and dreams, in a safe, non-judgmental space.

You’re pregnant, or just became a new parent and are in the postpartum period. No one told you about the unexpected and unwanted thoughts and feelings that you are experiencing. The whole life transition is just not what you expected or hoped it to be like. The emotional rollercoaster you’re on is beginning to have an impact on your relationship with others, your new or expected baby, and yourself. It feels like you are alone in this, and it is difficult to understand who to turn to.

Are you experiencing communication issues with your significant other? Does it feel like you are experiencing constant tension between the two of you? Couples therapy can give you the chance to address negative patterns in your relationship that may be keeping you from experiencing true intimacy. Together we can work towards uncovering attachment patterns that shape your interactions. And if your partner is not motivated to attend therapy with you, individual treatment can help you better understand why you say/do/feel certain things which will help improve how you relate to others. Please note: I am no longer accepting insurance.

You may feel broken, different, and struggle to make all the "pieces" fit together. Perhaps that is further complicated because you are a survivor of trauma, or struggling with immense grief, and find it difficult to maintain healthy relationships or feel balanced. We cannot go back in time, but we have this sacred moment, and I want to help you grasp it and make it genuine. I want to help you find choice, autonomy and radical compassion in who you are. If you are partnered, I want to help you develop skills to nourish growth in your partnership(s)

Life happens. And along the way, those around us often influence the way we eventually come to feel about ourselves. This can significantly impact the way we live our lives day to day. What if we could untether ourselves from expectations we have internalized from our environments? What if you just do you?

Life is complicated, and often very difficult. My goal is to help you deal with that. Relationships are so, so important to us yet they’re the hardest thing we do. Sometimes the people that love us the most, hurt us the most. If you feel that you need help in understanding relationships, you're dealing with anxiety or depression, you want to improve your communication, or you simply need a place to be heard, I encourage you to try therapy.

As long as I can remember I was helping and advocating for others. Being raised in an immigrant household seeking for help in mental health was a stigma and it opened my eyes at an early age that it is hard to admit help is needed, but I would like to make that environment safe for others seeking help. I work with children, adolescents, and adults. I have a specialization in Military Social Work, working with veterans and families.
