Our life experiences impact who we are and who we become. The positive experiences stay with us, but the negative experiences stay with us as well. The relationships we have had throughout our lives are also deeply influential in shaping who we are and our current relationships. Therapy can be helpful in giving each person a deeper understanding of who they are and how their relationships and experiences have impacted them. My approach to treatment is to look for the root cause of the discomfort or pain the individual or couple is experiencing in order to help create lasting change.
I strive to make each person feel safe enough to be open, honest and vulnerable in session. This will allow us to work collaboratively, as a team, toward helping each individual reach their goals, decrease their distress and experience more fulfilling relationships.
I provide both couples and individual therapy. I have a specialty in providing treatment to college and graduate students and individuals who are experiencing difficulties with acculturation or readjustment to American culture.
