I have a great deal of respect for my clients and believe the solution to their problems is well within their reach. In my early training, there was a great emphasis on listening. It's a skill I use in every session to figure out the next right step toward growth and development for my clients. Listening is a skill I teach, so my clients can have more effective and intimate relationships with others, not only personally but professionally as well. My job is to teach myself out of a job and give you skills to live a better life.

Implementing therapy into your life is one of the many ways you can improve and better your life mentally, emotionally, and physically. I am a bilingual social worker who provides therapy to those who may be experiencing conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mood disorders. If you are looking for ways to manage the stress of every day life, therapy may be the first step to emotional freedom. We are all often burdened with stress, but ultimately, how we react to the stress is what impacts us most. Regaining some control over your emotions and distress may bring some peace to your life.

You are not the problem, and neither is your loved one. Your problem is the problem. I enjoy helping people navigate “problems” and overcoming them. I consider myself a mental health advocate but not in a traditional way. As a therapist, I advocate on behalf of the people in the room; even if I am advocating for you on behalf of yourself.

Life’s challenges don’t always respond to our usual strategies or the advice we seek from friends and family. Some situations require shorter-term solutions while others need deeper exploration and longer-term work. That’s where counseling comes in—an opportunity to speak with a neutral third party who can listen, empathize, and introduce new perspectives and skills to help you work through the challenges with support.

I work with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma in their lives, as well as couples and families who want to increase connection. I believe that good therapy is much more than a paid friendship, having a space to simply vent, or playing whack-a-mole with problems - solving one, and then another pops up. We all come into this world with God-given needs for safety, connection, and belonging. I believe that many of our problems stem from trying to get those needs met, but not always knowing how to do so in healthy, effective ways.
