LGBTQIA+ issues, Bipolar Disorder, Sex Therapy, ADHD, sexual/gender issues, anxiety, and religious trauma are areas of interest.
As a psychotherapist, I can assist you in unlocking your innate potential. In our busy lives we tend to lose perspective and neglect caring for the body, mind and inner self. In psychotherapy, you are assessed in a holistic manner using a biopsychosocial approach and together we work on areas of your life that are in need of examination and healing. You will feel safe and supported on your journey and will never be judged for being who you are. I enjoy working with clients from a diverse background and embrace diversity in my practice. I'm open-minded, compassionate, experienced (but not stuffy), and have a sense of humor.

I am "intensively" trained in DBT (coping skills designed to improve feelings, behaviors, and relationships) and Bipolar disorder.
Are "Moody", "Overly Sensitive", or "Needy"- words people use to describe you, or maybe how you describe yourself? Do you feel like your life is one stressful event after another? Does it seem like no one 'gets' you or people have given up on you? If you are looking for a therapist who wants to help you understand your moods/feelings and improve your relationships, I might be the one for you. Our feelings and behaviors can be impacted by our genetics or trauma. Either way, you can learn to manage them before they manage you!

I specialized in SMI population with MDD, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, PTSD/Anxiety with Adult population and with legal trouble or whatever life thrown their way.
I was a Refugee in 4 different countries, 2 continents where I was expose to different cultures and learned the importance of being underdog and different from the mainstream cultures. With that in mind, I learned the importance of being a helper to bridge the gaps and leaned the importance of commonalities that bind us together as human beings. With this background, I was exposed to war and realized the importance of resiliency when it comes to coping skills, such as meeting one own's physiological needs, security and safety or dying and death.

I have experience working with depression, anxiety, OCD, Bipolar disorder, PTSD and relationship challenges.
Welcome! Looking for a therapist is a courageous and important step towards improving your mental and emotional health. A supportive therapy relationship creates a path to knowing yourself more fully, learning about your thought and behavior patterns, and changing parts of your life that aren’t working for you. I believe people have intuition about what they need in order to feel more content. Some of these needs include developing healthier habits and self-care routines, relationship support, or processing trauma or loss. All of these reasons for pursuing therapy are important and can improve the quality of our lives.

What is the most successful approach to treating bipolar disorder?
Living with bipolar disorder can be challenging, and a number of therapies have been found effective in providing support to patients as they gain the skills to understand and manage the disorder. Family-focused therapy is often helpful for children and teens (the majority of cases develop before age 19); it aims to minimize mood cycling by improving family communication and reducing conflict. It also helps young people navigate the developmental challenges the disorder can create. Cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) and variants such as Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)help patients manage the thoughts and feelings that influence bipolar mood swings as well as develop specific behavioral strategies to counteract them.
What happens in therapy for bipolar disorder?
Because the patterns of mood switching and its triggers differ for each person and can change over time, mood tracking or monitoring becomes a basic way patients learn about the nature of their condition. One of the most common features of therapy is finding a workable method of mood monitoring, in which patients track their daily activities and rate their moods, then use the findings to adjust routines accordingly. Patients learn ways of handling the many stresses that arise in life so that they do not trigger mood swings.
What kinds of problems does therapy help with?
Like many other mental health disorders, BPD is heavily influenced by stress; therapy provides skills for coping with stressors of all kinds. Therapy is extremely important for helping individuals identify the situations that may trigger mood switching, so that mood swings can be prevented. Therapy may especially target recognition of the early stages of mood change so that they can be managed. In addition, therapy helps patients deal with the significant amount of turbulence the disorder can create in relationships and in work life.
What is the goal of therapy for bipolar disorder?
Therapy helps patients set up their lives to maintain stability so that their mood isn’t constantly threatened by daily events. Perhaps the first task of therapy is to educate people about the nature of the disorder. At the same time, a primary goal of therapy is to enhance adherence to drug treatment. Extended periods of mood stability can prompt patients to discontinue medication, triggering relapse, while the early phases of manic episodes can feel so energizing that patients stop medication, ushering in full-blown mania and the altered self-perception that can lead to destructive behaviors. Another major goal of therapy is to understand one’s mood patterns so as to minimize both the frequency and intensity of mood cycling.
