I have over 10 years of therapy experience helping clients with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, conflicts around cultural identity, life transitions, and academic and career struggles. I work pragmatically and collaboratively with clients while providing a warm, welcoming, culturally-sensitive, and interactive psychotherapy space. In a collaborative manner, we explore patterns of thinking, feeling, relating, and behavior that contribute to unfulfilling relationships and struggles at home, school, or work. We work together toward making emotional and behavioral shifts that lead to increased purpose and fulfillment.

In my private practice I help adults, older adolescents, and couples improve their mental health, communication, and relationships.
Accepting new patients- Sometimes you make impulsive decisions because of worry or self-esteem. It is hard to concentrate and this is holding you back. You want to work with a goal-oriented nonjudgmental professional who will guide you to a place where you feel confident and in control. Mental health is more than low self-esteem. It impacts all areas of your life including focus, sleep, relationships, athletic performance, and even chronic pain or health conditions.

I can help you change your relationship with your partner , your family, a friend, or yourself! People are often challenged by difficult emotions or challenging relationships. Instead of facing this task head on, you may distract yourself with unhealthy habits like over-drinking, improper eating, excessive social media or video game playing. While these techniques may help in the moment, they can make the problem even worse.

CALL Office: Adults & Seniors: Individual & Couple: The imprint of trauma is psychological & somatic: long after the events are over, the body continues to respond as if danger were ever present. My professional mission is to bring this understanding of trauma to Adult and Seniors, as a psychotherapist, looking for answers to healing traumatic events. The key to healing is not just knowing what happened but transforming how mind, body, & soul still remember it. Trauma can reveal itself via depression, anxiety, despair, conflict ,lack of resolve, patterns of repetition ,worn out "survival mode defenses" from earlier times.

I've worked with individuals and couples for over 20 years, helping them to heal and find meaning in their lives.
A client recently told me,"You have this amazing ability to listen and give me support in such a caring way that I always leave with a positive attitude. I have learned so much about myself." Finding a good therapist on the Internet can be challenging. The process may feel overwhelming or arbitrary. The most important indicator of success in therapy is the connection you will build with your therapist. My objective is to help you find answers, make decisions, and unload burdens in a way that feels comfortable for you. My clients routinely report improved mood and greater insight.

We begin from where you are, knowing that healing happens from the inside out. It helps to have help with this! It takes guts to trust a new person with intimate issues.

Couples Counseling Therapists

Does couples counseling work?

Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?

Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?

The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?

The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
