The decision to seek help can be difficult, but choosing to do so, shows incredible strength and willingness to grow, learn and overcome. At times, life can be challenging and while we can't change the past, we can learn to understand and resolve challenges in our present. Therapy can help you to uncover your true potential and lead a life that is more balanced and fulfilling. My passion is centered on helping others to make the changes they desire.

I believe it is a honor and privilege to be able to help and come alongside a person as they are going through a difficult time in their life. My goal is to provide a safe environment where a individual can come and share concerns, feelings and address issues that are impacting their life. I truly believe that the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and client is of upmost importance to the client meeting their goals. Everyone has their own story to tell that involves their own personal experiences. This is why I believe the importance of looking at a persons life from when they were born to present day.

I will never forget that terrible feeling that engulfed me. I was 19 years old and struggling just to catch my breath. I couldn't focus on anything but the sheer panic. I was having my first panic attack. It was a trusted therapist who came to my rescue. My therapist turned out to be a lighthouse for me when I was lost. With compassionate guidance she helped me heal and rid myself of the anxiety and panic. I valued what she did so much that it became my goal to also be that lighthouse for others who are drowning.

I have a private practice working with individuals, couples and families. I also work extensively with teens and children. My primary focus is working with stress, anxiety disorders and depression; however, I also work with addictions, eating disorders, parenting issues and basic conflict resolution . I follow a cognitive /behavioral approach for anxiety and depression, as well as a psychodynamic approach in other areas. My goal is to help my clients develop a clearer understanding of their feelings, thoughts and emotions, and then begin to work to make positive, life-enhancing changes in their lives.

Life can be challenging. Finding a therapist that you connect with and trust can be even more challenging. As a thoughtful and empathetic therapist, my job is to provide a safe and welcoming space to focus on deepening the understanding of yourself, together. Therapy is a way of nurturing the process of healing and growth to promote positive change. Growing up in a minority community, I know the struggles of reaching out for support. The most difficult part of your journey is often taking that first step. After you reach out to me, we will work collaboratively to develop a transparent plan for treatment.

Hello and welcome. As a therapist, I strive to provide a warm, safe and non-judgmental environment in which individuals feel comfortable exploring and applying growth and change. For some, the thought of seeking therapy can feel intimidating, and for others, it can feel empowering. I work with each client collaboratively to address concerns in a way they feel is comfortable, whether it is brief therapy focusing on problem solving for current life stressors, or it is further exploration and identification of deeper issues. My goal is to support and assist you in developing ways to adapt to, improve or overcome your challenges.

I view my work with people as a partnership with the goal of assisting them in discovering how they can use their greatest qualities to overcome personal difficulties, so they can live a more peaceful and fulfilling life.
