When you look for a therapist, you want someone you trust. Trust is the most important aspect of a good client/therapist match. It's a good idea to come in for a few sessions and get a feeling for the therapist, and I welcome you to do so. After you feel comfortable,you can start identifying the blocks that prevent you from living the best life you can live. I've helped people with depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, histories of abuse,
grief
and
loss
, and people who've been hospitalized to break through their feelings of shame.

If you are experiencing marital strife, depression/anxiety, feelings of emptiness, anger,
grief
, or just plain feeling stressed out, we can work together to create the life you want to live.
Many clients are in search of deeper happiness and emotional resilience in their lives and relationships. Often, out of innocence, we look outside ourselves for fulfillment instead of inward, towards our own true hearts. For over 25 years I have worked with couples and individuals seeking a way out of isolation and emotional suffering towards greater joy. This is your time to be on the planet. If you struggle with self-defeating patterns and would like help shifting towards a more vibrant life, please call me for a free consultation.

Everyday we tell ourselves stories through our thoughts. These stories stem from our lived experiences, which are inseparable from our cultural identities. When we are faced with stress, trauma,
grief
, or any other life change, it can cause intense feelings of fear, anger, mistrust, loneliness, and sadness within ourselves and the world around us. Together we will explore tools to change what you can, and intentionally accept the unchangeable in a compassionate space. I believe clients know themselves best. I prioritize collaboration, building trust, safety, and honoring the client's identity throughout the therapy process.

It can be challenging to go through the stages of therapy, but the goal is that you leave the session exhaling with a smile that you took a step towards supporting yourself, that you made yourself a priority, and are on your way to tackling life’s stressors. We can work together to face the struggles that brought you to therapy and find solutions that help you feel inspired and empowered.

Grief Therapists
Grief and Bereavement is the acute pain that accompanies loss. Because it is a reflection of what we love, it can feel all-encompassing. Grief is not limited to the loss of people, but when it follows the loss of a loved one, it may be compounded by feelings of guilt and confusion, especially if the relationship was a difficult one.
