We work with adults and couples who are seeking relief from trauma, grief, anxiety and depression, relationships issues, life adjustment, and can even help tackle financial wellness. We believe recovery and healing is not a one size fits all. Every individual and couple has a unique set of internal and external strengths.

Life changes can be painful.Through exploration of feelings, symptoms and behavior, I help patients to gain insight into the root of their problems, then we set realistic goals. My clinical practice includes cognitive behavior, insight oriented, reality oriented therapy, family and marriage counseling. I also have special certification in treating anxiety and eating disorders. My experience has also helped me to realize that the number of patients with age-related cognitive, mood and memory problems is also growing and many of them remain under-diagnosed and under-treated. Integrating memory-enhancing strategies and behavioral modifications into individual therapy for seniors leads to tangible results.

Life can be hard to manage on your own, but thank god there's counseling. If you feel alone, unsupported or just confused about where your life is heading, therapy can help. Work with a therapist that understands going to therapy is difficult and will make this a pleasant and safe experience. if you are interested in learning more about yourself, your past and understanding how this affects your future, then let's talk. Trained in talk therapies, Trauma Release Exercises (TRE), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and other evidence-based treatments.

Welcome. You have taken the first step towards your mental and emotional healing by being here. Take a moment to evaluate your self-esteem, your relationships with family or friends and your level of motivation to meet your life goals.

Let's work on this together.

I like to begin by creating a safe space for you to be vulnerable as you embark on this journey to address things in your life, relationships and from your past that have you feeling “stuck”. My specialty is working with the individual (s) to explore behavioral patterns that lead to problem areas to increase insight, motivation and a sense of agency to take on change. I do not see individuals as problem but rather as people with problems. Problems are temporary. Let’s begin this journey.....to discovering to best version of yourself.

As a therapist I first begin by meeting my clients where they are. My second aim is to understand the client as a whole and not just their diagnosis/issue. I don't focus on the diagnoses/issues, i like to assist my clients in being the best version of themselves. I believe that everyone is an individual, even in sharing the same diagnosis or life issues, I strive to treat every client as an individual when treating. It sometimes can be challenging to find a therapist you trust as well as connect with. I strive to always keep an open mind as well as show empathy.

"I work effectively with a wide variety of clients from all ethnic and cultural backgrounds; issues range from anxiety or depression to the self-image or existential crisis.

PTSD, anxiety, phobias and relationships struggles can be examples of our past influencing our present.
