The most integral aspect of counseling is coming from a person centered, peer and trauma informed focus that is collaborative and culturally sensitive, meaning, providing you with the autonomy and agency to decide what coping skills, care, and approach is best suited for you. Working as a team is imperative in order for each session to feel like a conversation and not something purely clinical. Providing you with resources you need and desire, along with actively listening, being empathic, and present, creates the ideal atmosphere for healing. It is my honor and privilege to be of assistance to you.

I believe every dysfunction, every disorder, and every pain was somehow born to cope with life and protect the best parts of us. In the journey towards healing, we all need a power greater than ourselves (call it God, love, or family...) to provide acceptance, support, and a safe place to unravel. Counseling is an invitation to come and be; to take an honest look at yourself for who and what you really are; to realize your issues make sense; and to have compassion for all parts of you so you can holistically heal and function at your full potential.

You’re here because some emotional issue is holding you back from your best life. You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, or unresolved trauma and even reached out for help from people you respect; but they’ve been either too busy with their own issues, critical or worse failed to listen? That can make your situation even more frustrating and lead to feeling unimportant, invisible, and even unworthy of love and belonging. No one deserves to feel devalued. I know this is more than a platitude because everyone I have ever worked with has so much value; just often untapped or unrecognized.

Navigating life can be a challenge. As a psychologist, I help you identify: (1) problem areas and patterns that are causing distress, (2) the source(s) of these issues, and (3) ways to enact change. Depending upon your individual characteristics, life experiences, history, and cultural background, difficulties can present themselves in numerous ways and color how we experience ourselves, our environment, and our relationships. Furthermore, external circumstances, often beyond our control, can cause or contribute to our struggles and it is important that we have appropriate and effective coping strategies to manage these.

I help people from all walks of life reduce feelings of overwhelm and discomfort by growing their confidence, achieving their personal goals and being able to bring their best selves to their relationships. Life can be challenging--and we are not meant to go through it without a good support system. I will be part of that support for you, and most importantly, show you how to realize your own internal strengths that you can tap into whenever life throws you a curve ball. You already have everything you need and I can show you how to find it.
