Our work together is a collaboration to reach goals that are in alignment with what brings you peace and joy.

If you are seeking support for relationship issues, burnout related to work, parenting or high performance or to address past and or recent trauma, we may be a good fit. Often something in our present life invites us back to the pain that may have been untended too. Symptoms like depression and anxiety, burnout, anger, emptiness, or numbness can point us back to places that need healing. Together we will listen to the story our bodies, symptoms, or behaviors are telling you so you can find your way back to yourself and restore connection in your life.

Reflecting on my own counseling practice, I have discovered the overwhelming strength and healing power of human connectedness which is an essential cornerstone of my therapeutic counseling relationships. Life is a journey filled with both opportunities and challenges. When daily life and/or life transitions seem too overwhelming, the guidance and support provided from a trusted professional who is empathetic and objective can be informative, empowering, and restorative. I use cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic interventions to help clients discover how conscious and unconscious thoughts impact emotions and behaviors. In addition, I draw from a variety of counseling theories to meet each client's individual needs.

I enjoy assisting adults, parents, and their children to understand how to grow and maneuver their way through life's challenges. It can be overwhelming not knowing how to deal with anxiety, stress, and social expectations when you don't know how to open up. This can take its toll and make anyone feel powerless. Discovering how fear and anxiety grow over time while interfering with daily tasks can improve self-esteem, confidence and create strong bonds between parents and children. I also offer Psychological Evaluations for Immigration cases petitioning under a UVisa, VAWA, Asylum, or Extreme Hardship.

I believe that clients and counselors partner together to work towards optimum mental health for each client. I believe in client involvement in setting and working towards those goals through a variety of clinical interventions with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR and DBT.
