My goal is to make you feel welcome, supported, and worthy of love, respect, and dignity. We will work together to discover and release your true, authentic self, and to help you live a life with meaning and purpose. I have helped hundreds of clients from diverse cultural backgrounds and life roles deal with their mental health challenges or addictions. There is no reason to remain bogged down with change in life transitions, trauma, career or relationship stress, or to remain stuck in self-doubt and self-esteem challenges. Please contact me now and begin changing your life.
In my former clinic, I was routinely assigned the clients with the most complex mental health issues. I welcome and feel very comfortable treating clients with serious depression, anxiety, trauma, addictions or new challenges in life. My style is friendly and integrative, drawing from a variety of treatment modalities to meet your unique needs.
Seeking therapy is an overwhelming experience. We worry that we might be fundamentally flawed or that what has happened is shameful. We fear that we will be judged or viewed negatively. You can reveal your darkest thoughts and fears to me without shame or judgment. I will treat you with dignity and respect. Please let me help you heal and thrive.

I work with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, and complex trauma. Most clients see an improvement in symptoms within the first several sessions and continue to substantial improvement thereafter. Many clients come to me after having unsuccessful experiences. They tell me that where other therapists just let them talk, I provide them with practical tools to manage their symptoms.
