Relationships never start off difficult. Disappointment, pain, betrayal, distance, emotional shut-off are all among the myriad reasons they become difficult. Often times the distance between two people can feel insurmountable. A trained and effective therapist is able to bridge that gap and provide guidance and support on the journey back to relational health. Research shows most people wait 6 years to seek therapy. By this time, the sparks of discontent have become a fiery inferno and the help of a professional is invaluable in the process of healing and reconciliation.

During this time in our world, we all can benefit from extra sources of support. Some areas we thought manageable yesterday are no longer manageable today.

Counseling children (4+), families, and adults for 10+ years, I am experienced in a variety of diagnoses & treatment areas, but more importantly, I am centered on client care. My utmost priority is creating a strong therapeutic connection where my clients feel heard and supported.

You've always carried so much for your family, and in many ways are considered a trailblazer. Your family came to this country, and life growing up was complex for you as you navigated barriers, culture, your own self-doubt and shame for creating a different path, or wanting something different. It's getting harder to live in both worlds...what will my (insert here: family, friends, community, children) think of me? Meanwhile, you are noticing it may be harder to sleep, body pain where there was none, more frequent headaches or instrusive thoughts, restlessness...and you are here just seeking some relief and a path forward.

We used to be close, but everything’s turned into a mess of arguments and awkward silence. Our conversations have become this minefield of the unspoken, and the love we had has gotten lost in translation. It feels like all those talks and plans we had for our family are slipping through our fingers. I’m trying so hard and I can’t seem to fix it. It's not just fights – it's like we're stuck in a cycle, and it’s not getting better.

In my practice I see individuals who are dealing with all types of painful problems revolving around issues concerning struggles with relationships, loss/bereavement, addictions, mood disorders and anxiety concerns. At times, life can be difficult especially when overwhelming circumstances occur that are beyond a person's normal realm of experience. Learning new coping skills and discovering how to be more self-protective by setting healthy boundaries and limits through a process of self-empowerment is the primary goal in the counseling setting. I work hard with clients to find their best solution.
