Are you feeling sad or anxious over relationship issues with others or yourself? Are you stressed or overwhelmed by life transitions/losses? How about feeling disconnected or having no purpose in life? I understand that coming to therapy can be scary. We can feel so vulnerable opening up to a stranger about our confusions, fears and insecurities. Therapy is a process of self-exploration, healing, and growth. The therapy process will help you in gaining greater awareness about yourself, your relationships, and situations you find yourself in. In therapy, you will learn skills for coping and discover solutions to your problems.

I believe in forming collaborative relationships with the people I work with. I strive to help you understand yourself better so that you can make meaningful change in your life. My goal is to help you form strategies and ways of thinking that can be translated from the therapy room to every day life - to work, school. relationships, and within yourself.
