Are you an adult or adolescent who is struggling with anxiety; depression; relationship issues; grief; stress with facing major life events including phase of life problems; family changes; or career transitions. If so, I can help you develop new skills to minimize its impact. With having over 30 years of experience working with adolescents, and adults I highly respect, embrace, and value a multicultural perspective recognizing each client comes from a unique cultural and social context which in turn enhances, enriches, and strengthens the counseling experience.
Having experience seeing clients in both a clinical and school setting and working collaboratively with clients establishing strategies and techniques that are tailored to each individual client’s needs provides an opportunity for each client to safely explore their own cognitive triangle (connections between one’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors/actions).
You are not alone in this process as I will walk alongside you, creating a therapeutic collaboration in our therapeutic space that will provide opportunities to develop enhanced behavior changes that foster and support improving your overall well-being while promoting progression towards your own identified personal therapeutic goals.

I use a Person-Centered approach paired with SFBT and CBT. Our first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and will start to identify therapy goal(s). A tailored treatment plan will be the road map to measure progress as we discover innate proficiencies, design strategies/techniques to manage challenges and use CBT to explore how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience.
