Therapy is having courageous conversations about our deepest desires. I have spent the last decade helping people discover their truest selves, deepen their relationships, and grow through the meaning that accompanies life transitions, suffering, and mental health issues.

I have been working with clients of all ages including adolescents, the young adult population, children, and parents throughout my career through clinical interventions for challenging mental health issues, or coaching for the parents to go through the tough time for their teens. I believe that the most powerful thing during the therapy is the person's unique strength and desire for change. Emotional regulation is the key while rebuilding the new neurological pathway for our brain to process difficult life experiences.

Everyone has a narrative... a personal story that we tell ourselves about our life and share with the world. Part of our narrative comes from our family of origin and the other comes from experiences that have cultivated our perception of reality. Sometimes the challenge comes when we relive unpleasant experiences & have triggers that can deeply affect our "here and now"... The ultimate purpose of therapy is to connect with someone that is knowledgable about human behavior, compassionate about others & can guide you in working through challenges and share insights on how to cope and heal.

Relationships are what humans were created for and can be extremely life-giving. However, sometimes we go through hardships that may create distance or unhealthy behavior patterns in these relationships. As a counselor and former educator using a holistic approach, I take into consideration the unique needs and strengths of each individual I work with. I strive to create a non-judgemental space where clients feel heard and understood. By utilizing evidence-based techniques, I assist clients in identifying patterns, gaining self-awareness and developing practical tools to overcome obstacles.

This is not what you signed up for when you first got together. Back then, time together was fun and fulfilling. You were the best of friends. The sex was great. But now you can't seem to have a conversation without it turning into an argument. You go through the routines of life and do anything to avoid conflict. And sex? Forget it. It's not worth bringing it up. What now? Do you give up and plan your exit, or just settle for being roommates and learn to isolate the pain? Neither seems like a good option.
