Have you ever felt like there are parts of your identity and your relationships that you have lost touch with? Many of us live our lives disconnected from the current moment, from those around us, and from our true self. The truth is, we cannot numb one part of ourselves without numbing who we are as a whole. I am passionate about partnering alongside individuals, couples, and families in the pursuit of discovering wholeness. My approach is holistic, systemic, and collaborative, as I seek to promote long-lasting change through the safety and trust that is formed within the therapeutic relationship.

I have been a committed therapist for children/teenagers. My expertise involves assisting children from challenging backgrounds, including those in foster care, runaways, and children of divorced parents. I have received thorough training in managing internet gaming addiction and aiding teenagers in establishing a positive relationship with technology and gaming. Through incorporating playfulness, creativity, and meeting individuals at their level, I aim to establish a secure environment for building significant relationships and fostering transformative growth. Join me on a path towards personal development and empowerment!

Each person has the ability to learn, grow and make necessary changes in their personal life, relationships, and situations. We aim at exploring and understanding ways of thinking and patterns of behavior one may be completely unaware of, resulting in repetitive patterns of behavior that ultimately lead to dissatisfaction and emotional turmoil in a person's life. We are driven by a belief that each individual has potential to grow from their life experiences, whether it be good or bad. As a group of highly qualified and trained therapists, we are passionate about solving critical challenges and inspiring personal growth.

My passion lies in working with both youth and adults alike and believe that counseling offers an opportunity to reflect on the current challenges that you may be experiencing in life, and working together with you on moving forward. In particular I have a heart and passion for working with youth and young adults of color. I believe that racial identity is linked to every aspect of daily lives for people of color and often leads to ongoing symptoms of stress and anxiety. I love working with individuals of all races and ethnicities, including folks who identify as children of immigrants.

My approach to Mental Health Counseling is to view the client as expert in their own life. I do not play the role of expert in my client's lives. I do, however act as a guide, advocate, educator, and support person. What I will do is attempt to see your issues from your perspective and your view of the world. I work within the framework of Person-Centered Therapy, which focuses on the client being the expert, Existential Therapy, which focuses on behavior and looks at how the client thinks, feels, and behaves and the impact they have on others.

I specialize in treating teens, adolescents, couples and families dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship instability, academic/screen-time concerns, and substance abuse issues.

I've also worked with athletes and coaches on performance improvement and career transition.

My client profile consists of 1/3 children/adolescents, 1/3 trauma focused therapy due to sexual assault and/or sexual addiction impact, and 1/3 females over 40 who would like to explore making changes in life. I enjoy the diversity of my practice as all the above mentioned areas enable me to work with both childhood disorders and relational challenges into adulthood. My focus on sexual addiction/trauma and family of origin issues is to provide supportive and therapeutic space for partners and children/teens who have been impacted by someone who has either a confirmed or suspected sexual addiction.

As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) I work primarily with men who have cheated, committed infidelity, compulsively use porn/sex and want to heal their relationships and live free. If any of that sounds like you or your partner's situation there is a clear path forward to heal from both the cheating and the betrayal trauma it causes. I would be honored to help you and your partner find your footing and learn to walk that path of recovery.

You tell yourself that if you just do everything perfectly, you’ll feel okay. As long as the house is spotless. And your family is ideal (or at least looks that way on social media.) If you always say yes, constantly keep a smile on your face, and never complain about anything – then everything should be fine. But no matter how hard you try, you can’t shake this feeling of dread. And all of your efforts to appear perfect are taking a toll. To-do lists never end. No one seems to know the real you. You’re terrified that at any moment, there’ll be a crack in your mask and everyone will see you for who you truly are; this cant go on.
