Sometimes life becomes harder than we ever imagined it could be. And when it does, you try to cope as best as you can; but even that might not be enough. Maybe you are left feeling depressed, anxious, stressed, angry and lonely. Or you start engaging in unhealthy behaviors like over-eating, excessive alcohol and drug use, or hurting yourself and those who love you. If this describes you, it's important to know that you are not alone. Many people feel this way. The good news is that there is help and there is hope.
As a licensed psychologist with over 20 years experience, I have worked with many people from diverse backgrounds. I utilize evidence based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and culturally sensitive approaches, homework, and a little humor to help you explore the causes of your distress and learn new skills to cope more effectively.
Eventually, we all get tired of feeling like we are standing still and the world is passing us by. We want to change. To do better and be better. But change can be hard, and it takes time and effort. Finally, change can be scary. However, working together in therapy, we can face the barriers in your life. Because it’s worth it. You are worth it.

I most often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, with a culturally sensitive focus. In our first sessions, we'll explore: 1. What challenges have brought you to therapy, and 2: What are your goals for your life. From there, together we can determine how to best move forward in making changes in your life.
