Starting psychotherapy can be an exciting and anxiety-provoking process as you take active steps to make changes in your life and relationships. I approach psychotherapy as a collaboration and work in an integrative way, tailoring interventions to individual needs. I believe that therapy's aim is not only to make improvements but also to manage disappointments. To this end, we can simultaneously engage in meaningful explorations while developing important coping skills, including mindfulness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. I offer individual, couples, and family psychotherapy to adults, children, and adolescents, and work with different family and relationship configurations.

Searching for a therapist can feel overwhelming and confusing. It is understandable to question whether it will be worth the energy, time, and money, but here you are: showing motivation, curiosity about yourself, and a desire to get started on your healing journey. These are the types of clients that I love to work with. You might be struggling with anxiety, stress, a big life transition, or relationship trouble and noticing that it’s negatively affecting how you think, feel, and behave. You may feel its impact in your body, mind, and even your gut, making it hard to be present and engaged with loved ones, or even when alone.

When life becomes overwhelming, therapy becomes an opportunity to identify barriers to satisfaction, manage the difficulties you are experiencing, and to feel better. I understand that finding the right therapist takes time and making the first call is difficult. When you are ready to do so, I can help you decide how and when you'd like to begin. I offer a warm and supportive space in which you can safely express your worries and concerns. My encouraging and interactive style allows you to explore your circumstances, while equipping you with coping skills to manage when feeling overwhelmed.

Whatever you struggle with - complex traumas, addictions, relationship challenges, career anxiety, a feeling of "stuckness" - I can help. I describe my therapeutic style as "alive": alive to your story, alive to your pain, alive to your problems, and alive to who and where you are, right now. I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches, including trauma-focused therapy, schema therapy, and transformational chair work, all tailored to help you regain a sense of agency in your life.

As the world gets more and more complicated so does our ability to manage its day to day stressors. While searching for a therapist I hope you realize that you are not alone. Many of us find ourselves battling depression, anxiety, existential angst, interpersonal problems, trauma, loss and other symptoms related to an increasingly technological society. I see myself as someone who can kindle a light as one navigates such gnarly terrain. My traditional face to face and remote on-line sessions offer, diagnosis, treatment, nonjudgmental support, confidentiality, encouragement, expertise and comfort while you explore new ways to improve the quality of your life.

Change can be intimidating, but it can also be healthy. Brijuan approaches therapy in a collaborative manner where the client leads the direction, while she supports from the sideline.

She also helps clients with becoming more empathetic towards themselves as well as with others.

I am a licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT: Drama Therapy). I work with kids, teens and adults on self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and trauma-related issues. My strengths-based approach is grounded in the person-centered, unconditional positive regard for the client, and the belief that they have the ability to find their own answers, shift their thinking, change their negative patterns and empower themselves as experts in their own lives. In addition, I draw from other approaches that include Drama/Psychodrama, Creative Arts, Narrative, and Trauma Focused work.

Do you feel like the same scene is playing out in your life over and over again, but an inability to change the script? Do you feel powerless in managing confusing and intense feelings and difficulty in understanding why you feel this way? I am a psychotherapist specializing in trauma-focused treatments for children, adults, and couples. I believe that most people who walk into the therapist's office have difficulties that are rooted in trauma. Most traumatic experiences happen in the context of a relationship and can also be healed in the context of a safe therapeutic relationship.
