With a collaborative approach, I empower and guide clients to deepen their understanding of themselves and further use this insight to initiate change and identify goals within reach. Therapy can begin from a good place; we do not have to be struggling or feeling like the walls are closing in on us in order to start the process of healing.

My professional view of counseling is that it is a journey of self exploration by the client, using therapy as a guide to self understanding & self awareness. I, as a marriage and family therapist, use the skills that I have learned and developed throughout my education and clinical experience to facilitate growth in my clients. I am not an expert in any of my clients’ lives, but I strive to learn who they are from them and allow them to make decisions for themselves. I allow the client to guide the session so we can talk about the deep rooted problems when they are ready & tackle the daily struggles that cause anxiety & depression.

My aim is to collaboratively help you understand patterns in which you feel stuck, find relief from narratives that are no longer yours, and learn how to move towards towards your goals.

You consider yourself to be a perfectionistic people-pleaser and often struggle to feel understood at work and in your relationships. What’s keeping you there? You’re afraid of rejection and letting people down, so you over-compliment, do and say things that you think others expect, and struggle to say no even if it means sacrificing your time and energy. At the same time, you hold yourself to very high expectations and beat yourself up when you don't meet them. It’s no surprise that you’ve been feeling drained, overwhelmed, and resentful.
