I provide counseling to adults experiencing difficulty adjusting to changes in the family unit; maltreatment, bullying or lack of acceptance from family members; isolation and increased loneliness in relationships; increased conflicts with family; and perfectionism and excessively high standards. These experiences can cause my clients to experience an increase in sleep loss, worry, feeling unhappy or depressed, persistent negative thoughts, feeling distressed, obsessive-compulsive disorder and loss of confidence in themselves.
Using CBT, we'll examine and confront “should” and “must” statements; work on social comparisons and self-esteem; learn mood regulation; challenge irrational thoughts and focus on productive problem-solving. I use Person Centered therapy to create a non-judgmental, empathetic space to process trauma, rebuild self-worth, and reduce emotional distress.
I use accepting language, so that you will feel comfortable sharing your strengths, challenges and opportunities an will at times challenge you. Through hearing your story, we'll start to get a picture of where you've been, currently are and where you want to go!

I view therapy as a collaborative process and use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. My work is centered on empowering clients to take up space to share their truth, grow to accept support, set boundaries within the context of their culture, and build lives that align with their values.
