I understand the ups and downs that are faced on a path to growth in all aspects be it personal, spiritual, or professional. I am looking forward be a service to you on your path. I am pleased to hear about you and how I can support you on your mental health journey.

Have you noticed a change in memory or find it harder to focus or multitask? Has there been a change in mood? A variety of conditions impact our thinking and influence how we function at home, school, and work. Fortunately, neuropsychological assessments can help identify what neurological challenges might be impacting your day-to-day. I'm a clinical neuropsychologist and I offer comprehensive evaluations for individuals with neurological and psychiatric disorders, including (but not limited to) ADHD, stroke, traumatic head injury, dementia, depression, anxiety, and trauma.

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming. The troubles in our relationships can feel impossible to overcome. As a result feelings of depression, anger, and anxiety often occur. As a Marriage and Family Therapist I have helped many people overcome these debilitating emotions, improve their relationships, and move on to lead lives that are more fulfilling. My specialties include working with families, couples and individuals who have been impacted by addiction, childhood trauma, grief and loss, and change of life issues.

We are passionate about empowering individuals, couples, and families improve their quality of life in the face of adversity. In this healing journey, therapy is a collaborative process where you discover your inner strengths that aids in overcoming life's challenges and promote personal growth. It is about helping you make connections, resolve issues at its roots, and heal in a safe nonjudgmental environment. Our expertise includes working with children, adolescents, and adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, behavioral problems, trauma, domestic violence, parenting, women's issues, men's issues, spirituality, and more.

I believe that healing, growth, and change are available to all people, regardless of their present circumstances or past misfortune. I use a collaborative approach to therapy, to work with clients in understanding both their challenges and their goals, and together to find ways of making positive changes along the psychological, social, and biological axes of life. I believe that no one is an island, and that there is no shame in reaching out for help. On the contrary, doing so is an indicator of strength. I seek to provide an empathetic and intellectually engaged environment to cultivate insights and promote growth.

Aloha! I consider it an immense privilege to come alongside my clients to support them towards achieving their self-determined goals. Specializing in trauma, I am a holistic practitioner who incorporates multi-faceted approaches in a safe, nonjudgmental therapeutic environment. I have extensive experience working with marginalized populations and therefore, am able to consider the complexities of ethnicity, culture, societal systems and gender identity in my therapeutic work.

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." My clients face challenges in finding fulfillment in their life and connecting with the world around them in a meaningful way. 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.

I extend my gratitude and thank you for taking the time to read my profile! I'm passionate about working with clients who are seeking to find balance and positive growth for their lives. It's difficult to manage all of our struggles alone and my hope is to work with clients who are open to change and wanting to improve their overall view or how to manage a more fulfilled life. I find joy in creating strong therapeutic alliances with my clients and encouraging them on a path of understanding and empowering their own strengths.

Are you a working professional who is just feeling the stressors of work and everyday life? It’s hard to be able to juggle it all and still somehow try to find time for yourself. Sometimes life just feels like a lot, bad day at work, a fight with a partner or loved one, difficult day with the kids, a triggered emotion that came out of nowhere, or just not enough time in the day to get everything done.

Connecting to my clients is of utmost importance to me. Connecting to you is essential in assisting you to achieve your goals; I truly believe in actively being present for you. I openly listen to what is of significance to you and I non-judgmentally hear where you’re coming from and your life experiences.

My mission is to empower those that I work with to have meaningful connections to themselves and the world around them.I specialize in supporting individuals, couples and families who are in transition - specifically, if a family member is in treatment or struggling with abuse, trauma, eating disorders or chemical dependency. It is very important to me that I respect my clients' philosophies, values and goals in therapy. As I work with a family, I'm sensitive to the experience of being invited in and I only offer solutions that fit within the family culture.

I focus on providing holistic mental health care taking into account cultural, family dynamics, spiritual, socio-economic, and medical factors that contribute to mental health conditions. My hope is to support individuals, families, and children thrive by identifying and supporting their inner strengths.

I focus my work mainly on depression, anxiety, family issues, trauma, emerging adulthood struggles, life transitions, or cross-cultural adjustment issues. I believe that by providing a relationship of acceptance, empathy, and empowerment along with skill building, you will feel seen, heard, safe, and valued. If this sounds like you, I would love to accompany you on your journey of growth, healing, and thriving.

Hello there! I am an EMDR-trained therapist and I greet you with gentleness and a smile.

I believe in building a strong therapeutic relationship. Symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma etc., are not easy to go through alone and that is why I am here. Building a strong foundation helps my clients understand that they in fact are not alone, and we can work together to help relieve these symptoms.

During the seasons of life, we encounter various barriers, bumps, ditches and forks in the road that lead us in different directions leaving us feeling disconnected, stressed, anxious, depressed, confused and frustrated. As your therapist, my goal is to empower and collaboratively help you heal, resolve and work through issues, identify and explore your strengths and help you to reconnect with yourself and others in the way you envision. I offer a place that is welcoming, friendly, empathetic, supportive, nonjudgmental and safe in order for you to explore and discuss the issues that are impacting you and your life.

I'm glad to see you've reached out for therapy! Taking this step indicates your commitment to seeking help and making positive changes. Many individuals feel a sense of relief simply from scheduling their initial appointment. Whether you're feeling stuck in your personal growth, experiencing a decrease in self-confidence and motivation, struggling to cope with recent losses or major life changes, feeling increasingly anxious, sad, or angry, facing more frequent arguments, or feeling dissatisfied in your important relationships, or if you're interested in self-exploration and enhancing your self-awareness, I'm here for you!

I offer a trauma-informed approach where you don't have to process your trauma through talk therapy. Instead, we can collaborate in a very unique way by using an evidenced-based approach that you will like and trust. I also specialize in assisting with anxiety-based symptoms and depression-based symptoms. I assist to reduce fear/phobias, anxiety/worry, panic attacks, and anger. With panic attacks, I psycho-educate my clients about why they occur and how to reduce their presentations. I also work with anger and I psycho-educate my clients on why their anger presents and how to decrease maladaptive behaviors.
