When we are exposed to trauma at an early age, it can seriously impact how we feel about ourselves and our relationships with others. Trauma can also profoundly affect whether we feel this is a safe world and can contribute to depression, anxiety, and relational/familial issues. My practice is from a strengths-based, trauma-informed perspective with a non-judgmental framework. I aim to understand clients’ internal responses and to provide more options for emotional regulation and problem-solving.

Hello there, thanks for visiting. I'm a licensed psychologist with 10+ years experience helping individuals develop self-esteem and healthy relationships. Clients that work well with me tend to present a stronger front than they feel internally. They take pride in being independent and having high stress-tolerance, but are prone to burnout, loneliness, and relationship problems because they don't trust anybody to be helpful or "do things right." If this sounds relatable, you might be exhausted from always needing to be "good", to know better, be the "responsible" or "mature" one, but afraid of what'll happen if you stopped.

I offer a safe and supportive environment to help you identify and resolve unhealthy patterns that keep you from moving forward. You might be feeling stuck due to becoming emotionally disconnected with your partner, experiencing a traumatic event or struggling to perform at your optimal level at work. You want to rediscover intimacy, purpose and joy. Let me join you in developing effective coping skills to manage life's daily challenges.

Seeking therapy takes courage and strength. Are you experiencing feeling stuck due to childhood trauma? I am here to provide you with unconditional support to process through your anxiety, depression, and other unresolved feelings at your pace. Sometimes we may need someone who is there for us and there are no problems in life that are too big or small. You have taken the first step to seek help, I can help you discover your inner strength to bounce back and deep inside you may be wishing for peace and equilibrium. As a therapist, I aim to help you reach those goals together to bring about inner peace.

I’ve wanted to be a therapist since I was 18. I knew that I was a very self-aware, emotionally sensitive, and insightful individual. I have a genuine desire to get to know each client as a human being. I find it very easy to listen to others and am interested in solving personal problems. I like to observe and analyze people. In high school, my friends always confided in me about their problems because they saw that I was trustworthy.

Are you suffering from stress, depression, anxiety? Are you internally battling with unresolved trauma? Are you experiencing difficulty adjusting to changes in your life? Are you dating the "same" person you divorced three years ago? Do you feel like your partner or spouse does not understand you? Does your child is showing behaviors or attitudes that are concerning to you? I can help to guide you through this therapeutic journey so that you will integrate new skills for living, loving, relating, and ultimately leading the fulfilling life you desire.

Are you feeling stuck? Life is getting too much? Transitions can be difficult, but it doesn’t have to be. The present can give you gifts of encouragement. As a therapist, I try to meet people where they are at in their journey. My ideal client is someone who wants to learn more about themselves, is ready to make positive changes, and are open to new perspectives. I view therapy as a collaborative process in which my sessions are guided by your goals, concerns, and readiness for change. I look forward to meeting you!

Life is full of transitions. Change can be both exciting and daunting. Sometimes we need some support along the way. I’m here to help you navigate through adjustments and life changes, all while cultivating resilience and personal growth.
