I am offering both in-person and telehealth counseling services.
I aim to implement effective psychotherapy methods to instill self-understanding among clients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the client and caretaker alike. But in the end, making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results.

Briefly stated, I think I am a bright, caring, and sensitive person. I have over 40 years of experience including work with people of varied ethnic backgrounds and issues- in a mental health center, a family counseling agency, and in private practice. I see individuals, couples, and families. What I offer as a therapist is genuine concern, acceptance, and a safe place to work through issues without judgement. I take an active role in therapy, and am more than a passive listener. I encourage self-care such as diet, exercise, and mindfulness.

At times, trauma can get us locked in painful patterns of interacting with others or responding to our environment. Whether we are re-living pain and hurt in our relationships or reacting to triggers around us in ways that no longer serve us, the results can leave us depressed, chronically stressed, and exhausted. Living an authentic life that includes joy and fulfillment does not have to be a fantasy. Therapy can help you gain some clarity about your struggles and give you the tools you need to make transformational changes.
