Welcome! If you are a creative artist or industry professional who is struggling with anxiety and burnout, toxic relationships at home or at work, and you know inside that it’s time to make a change, I am here for you.

I assist children, teens, and adults who experience depression, overwhelming anxiety, and struggles with relationships and questioning their purpose. I do this by focusing on the strengths of the individual, couple or family. I have had the experience of working in community and hospital based programs and I have traveled nationally and internationally teaching other mental health professionals about compassionate care of depressed teens as well as violence prevention.

The essence of our work is rooted in compassion, empathy and respect for multicultural identities and a wide range of therapy approaches which include holistic/traditional, psychodynamic, relational, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness and existential therapies.

My approach to therapy focuses on using the CBT model to assist individuals in identifying the impact of their thoughts and their influence on their behaviors. I also utilize Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT) which aims to process trauma-related symptoms and behaviors. As a therapist, I offer a safe and non-judgmental space using positive communication, a strengths-based approach, humor, and warmth to provide a comfortable setting.

My clients would describe me as genuine, caring, and accepting. I work with clients who have experienced trauma, micro-aggression and several messages from others and even from themselves to "get over it" or "get it together."

They are desiring a life in which they are able to fully embrace joy in the daily things and in their relationships. They want to be able to feel all their feelings without judgment and stress.

"The pain is there; when you close one door on it, it knocks to come in somewhere else..." (Dr. Irvin D. Yalom). The process of psychotherapy is uncovering the pain, either developmental, situation specific or just existential, and working through it within the bounds of a trusting, accepting and empathetic therapeutic relationship. Throughout the process, I will help you uncover and become comfortable with your authentic self, while bringing into the consciousness some of the themes and motives that have unconsciously ruled your life and became a part of who you are.
