Going through emotional distress and facing depression, anxiety, stress, or marriage struggles can take a toll on our mental and physical health. There are so many potential reasons leading us to want to embark on a therapeutic journey. Maybe something is going on in your life and your current behavioral patterns and coping strategies to manage challenges aren't working any longer. Or maybe there are struggles with a partner. I will work with you in discovering new ways toward a more fulfilling life, one with meaning and purpose. Prior to becoming a psychotherapist I held a career in a highly competitive corporate sales environment.
As your therapist I will join you in uncovering obstacles or patterns to help you get to the root of the issues you are facing. This leads to greater insight for you and your relationships and creates a deeper understanding of how your past is intertwined with the present. My treatment style is non-judgmental, warm, authentic, and culturally aware.
I currently provide individual therapy and couples counseling and I have experience treating adults of all ages from diverse backgrounds and identities. I am committed to helping you realize change and reach your potential all while bringing curiosity, humor, and creativity into our space.
