My approach is to view problems or issues from a systemic perspective. That means I am curious about our key relationships past and present, the roles we play, the rules we follow, and where our identity and value systems come from. My passion is to make sense of the ways our internal experiences (relationship with self) and our external experiences (relationships with others) collide and inform one another. I strive to help people develop wholeness of self through unpacking anything that is keeping them stuck.

Being judgment-free and empathetic is inherent to my role as a clinician. I have worked with an extremely wide range of individuals. I specifically have experience working with individuals who are formerly incarcerated, individuals with sex offenses and/or sexually deviant behaviors, and adults struggling with daily stressors (including depression, anxiety, relationship and/or boundary concerns, mitigating shame, and grief). I additionally have experience working in a human rights organization focused on LGBTQIA+ and immigrant communities.

Do you often feel like your thoughts and feelings are holding you back? Are you asking a lot of “why” questions about the past or constantly worried about what will happen in the future? Your feelings and thoughts are valid as you are the expert on what has happened to you. Our life experiences, and sometimes circumstances beyond our control, often interfere with life goals, interpersonal relationships, and our sense of purpose. Therapy can provide you with a safe space to be authentically YOU, doing the work of healing and gaining self-awareness that YOU are valued and matter despite our ever-changing circumstances.

Some of the main issues for which individuals typically seek psychotherapy include, 1) Why are my relationships so troubled?, 2) Why have I been unhappy for so long?, 3) Why do I repeat the same problems over and over again?, 4) Is my past haunting me?, 5) How can I regain my self-respect and dignity?, 6) What is causing my symptoms such as anxiety, depression, or insomnia?, and 7) Do I need medication? In addition to these important issues, I would also ask, "Is there anything more important in your life than your psychological well-being?"

From painful traumas, grief and loss, relationships issues, parenting challenges, marriage disconnection, to anxiety and depression, we all experience challenges at some point in life. However, growing and becoming the best version of ourselves requires work and attention as it may not come naturally. Every person is different.
