"I believe we can change our lives!
By mindfully attending to our mind/body/heart processes, we can begin recognizing and reconfiguring old patterns of relating to ourselves and others that impact health and important relationships. In learning to acknowledge and accept what we find, we begin using our own inner resources to achieve and maintain skills for creating happiness, wisdom, and ease in our lives.
We learn to respond rather than react. As our relationship to stressful events, relationships and situations begins to change, we begin to see the world through new eyes. And this makes all the difference."

"With over 15 years of experience as a practicing therapist, I understand that therapy is not the easiest journey to take when you have to address challenging life circumstances. The easier path to take is to do nothing and remain unhappy and dissatisfied. Meaningful change in life will not happen unless you make the commitment to change. I provide a safe, comfortable, supportive, and non-judgmental space for you to do the work you need to do so you are better able to fulfill your dreams. You only have to be willing to make a difference in your life."

"We are broken people that come from broken people and that makes life hard sometimes. Learning to heal our broken pieces, improve our relationships with family and friends and finding serenity are my goals for myself and for everyone I serve. Often we enter therapy yet remain ambivalent about making a change. Ambivalence is natural. It can feel hopeless and overwhelming at the start of therapy. Life is not linear; instead, it is more like a roller-coaster. Healing and personal growth is a process where we get stronger as we do the work."

"Relational trauma is very common. When we’re hurt in relationship, whether by abuse or often overlooked neglect, invalidation, rejection, or abandonment, the effects can create an enduring shadow that stretches across your life. Do you regularly experience any of the following? Numbness, difficulty feeling your emotions, lack of pleasure, anxiety, moodiness, anger, impulsivity, isolating, control issues? If so, trauma from your past relationships may be the cause. Humans survive in groups. The attachments we form can be a source of strength or struggle. But as trauma happens in relationship, it is healed in relationship as well."

"I believe there are many things that may impact a person's ability to lead a full life. This could include challenges at work or school, relationship issues, depression and anxiety, or other life transitions. My goal as a therapist is to help clients move through their challenges and develop a deeper understanding of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so they are able to live more satisfying lives. I do this by assisting clients in processing their feelings and identifying and connecting the things that have shaped them - including their relationships, thoughts, and attachment/trauma experiences - to their current issues."

"Are you stuck? Frazzled? An overwhelmed worrier who is tired of feeling tired? Anxiety and the depression that sometimes comes with it can set you into a dizzying nosedive. Maybe you're afraid that if you slow down everything will fall apart. Swirling worry thoughts might be keeping you up at night. Maybe your relationships are stressing you out or you're out on your own, feeling lost and not sure of what to do with your life. You don't know which way is up or what to do, but you need support to sort it all out."

My approach is culturally sensitive & integrative incorporating elements of multicultural, cognitive-behavioral, and interpersonal theory."

"The word shalom -- peace -- shares the same root as the word for wholeness. As we find wholeness, we find peace. Early life experiences, abuse, trauma, and loss prevent many from experiencing a sense of wholeness. The masks that we may wear to protect ourselves in a world filled with "others" often separate us from our own selves as well. Life transitions, whether due to crisis or to natural growth, can make wholeness seem like an impossible dream -- but it is not."
