Do you want to find true happiness and have healthy relationships? I would love to help you get there! I work with individuals and couples who are having difficulty maneuvering through life changes to help them achieve the life they envision. Together, we work on issues surrounding anxiety, self-esteem, depression, and outside pressures from society, family, culture, media and more. Therapy is a powerful tool that has the potential to change your life in profound and lasting ways. If you want to improve the road you're walking, let's pave a better one together!
Together, in a safe, non-judgmental space, we can explore emotions, behaviors and ideas which are keeping you from your most fulfilling life. You will become more understanding and self-aware to end negative patterns which stand in your way. Guidance, feedback, and psycho-education, will empower you to face personal difficulties.
I approach my clients with a compassionate, direct, and non-judgmental lens. I am relatable and always honest. My clients learn to embrace confidence, be more assertive, manage emotions and relationships, and succeed in academics, career, and intimate relationships. That is what I hope to offer you as we maximize your potential.

I work with individuals and couples facing a variety of life challenges, such as communication issues, transitioning to an empty nest, and coping with grief and loss. During our first session I start by going over what you can expect form me as a therapist and any questions you have. Then it's all about getting to know you, your current situation, and what goals you have for our time together.
