I work to create a safe, confidential, genuine, and non-judgmental setting, which is essential for establishing a healthy therapeutic relationship. When clients can experience a sense of unconditional positive regard from their therapist, they will be more apt to be vested in the therapeutic process. Part of my job as a therapist is to actively listen to what you are saying and not saying, during each session. Through active listening, I can help you explore the underlying issues of your experience as well as identify your personal strengths. I utilize a myriad of therapeutic approaches in meeting clients' individual therapeutic goals, needs, and styles. Such as, 'talk' therapy, humanistic, cognitive-behavioral therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy, play therapy, and sand tray therapy, etc. I promote increased self-awareness and actualization, which develops emotional, physical, and spiritual balance. This works towards reducing many sources of conflict in one's life.

I intimately understand the immense toll that long hours, complex responsibilities, and the ability to analyze and anticipate complex systems can take on physicians, executive leaders and mental health providers.

I have witnessed how burnout and fatigue can insidiously undermine mental health and overall well- being of highly skilled professionals.

I managed to offer a nonjudgmental, non-bias, and confidential therapy approach with a exceptional quality of care for those that are experiencing everyday life stressors and seeking a better way to regain control over one's personal life.

Too often we tell ourselves that we must show up in a way that is “expected” or “appropriate” rather than believing we can have the freedom and agency to be authentic in our brokenness. I am passionate about being with people of all ages who are searching to find their voice - and to know how to use that voice in a healthy capacity. I believe it is such an honor to walk with others as they explore the bridge between despair and hope which can be a lonely path when attempted alone. I enjoy being with a wide variety of clients including children, adolescents, trauma survivors, and to those seeking pre-marital counseling.
