The idea of starting therapy can be a little scary, but with the right fit, it is an effective method for growth. My role is to help you find your way to an authentic understanding of what obstacles are in your way, and figure out how you want to address them. I view therapy as an opportunity to learn from life's challenges and uncover different things that are keeping us feeling stagnant. The reward of commitment to growth is the empowerment to accomplish our goals and ease life's stressors.

My personal approach to therapy and assessment utilizes a compassionate, non-judgmental, encouraging style.

Treatment planning consists of developing strategies and skills to master these life tasks. Assessment includes Fitness, Sanity, and Mitigation Evaluations, Damages Assessment, USCIS N-648 evaluations and more.

Stories have always fascinated me. They have the power to move us emotionally, to educate and instruct, to entertain us, and to cultivate true compassion and empathy through the act of sharing a story with another. They are also a powerful vehicle for how we perceive, interpret, define and live our lives, yet sometimes it can be easy to forget that we can be the authors of our story, not just a character proceeding along some previously determined narrative.

“After every dark night, there is a bright day, and that always gives me hope.” -Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes, TLC. Life is full of highs and lows. Sometimes during the lows, we experience suffering.

While experiencing these trials and tribulations, the hope is that we’re able to pull ourselves from the depths of despair by becoming a stronger person than we were prior. While participating in therapy, we can work together towards navigating pressing issues and improving overall satisfaction with life.
