Starting therapy and sharing personal aspects of life with someone new may evoke discomfort or unease. I recognize that this can be daunting, and I aim to create a space for you to explore – uncomfortable thoughts, self-image, or relationships in your life. To navigate through emotional struggles, it's important to embrace even the parts of ourselves we keep in the shadows. Working together to find root causes of trauma and working towards finding self-worth and perseverance is rewarding. Throughout our time, I look forward to cultivating trust, and fostering reflection on who you are, have been, and want to be.

Taking the first step toward counseling can be daunting and requires great courage. Many people fear judgment, the uncertainty of the process, or the vulnerability that comes with opening up. Breaking the stigma surrounding mental health can feel overwhelming, but seeking support is a powerful step toward healing, growth, and self-awareness. Mental health is a lifelong journey, and building emotional resilience is essential at every stage of life. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel empowered to explore their thoughts and emotions without fear.

I especially enjoy helping parents and caregivers strengthen their connection with their children.
Admitting we need help can be one of the hardest first steps. It takes courage to say, “I can’t do this alone,” and even more to trust someone with your story. My goal is to make that step feel less overwhelming by creating a space that feels safe, welcoming, and centered on your unique journey. Therapy is most effective when you feel genuinely heard and valued, when there’s room to explore both the pain and the possibility, and when progress unfolds through curiosity, compassion, and collaboration instead of pressure or judgment. I provide evidence-based support to individuals and families using a person-centered approach.

I empathize with how disheartening that must feel when you need help urgently.

One of the biggest challenges we face as human beings is not just our problems themselves, but the fear of confronting them. This fear can be deeply rooted in our past experiences, emotions, behaviors, and cultural perspectives. Too often, it holds us back from reaching out for help—whether due to uncertainty, fear of being truly heard, or wondering if anyone genuinely cares. Creating a supportive environment built on empathy, unconditional positive regard, and acceptance allows the clients I work with to feel safe as they work through their challenges.

Mental health needs affect everyone differently and yet it can impact how one sees the world, themselves, and others. Furthermore, various diversity factors such as race, gender, religion, also influence the way one see's him/herself and the way that the world sees and treats a person. In my work with children, adults, couples, and families which spans for more than 15 years, I focus on seeing and understanding the whole person in order to assist clients on their journey to healing and acceptance.

Parenting Therapists
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
