Life can be stressful and I'm here to help you cope with life's struggles so you don't have to continue carrying these issues alone. I like to take my time getting to know each unique individual and provide a safe and respectful environment to establish an open and trustworthy relationship. During our time together, you will learn to reflect on what you are experiencing and work on practical solutions to immediate problems while exploring maladaptive patterns of thinking, behaviors, and feelings that stem from past experiences. I will also work with you and support you on your journey to embrace positive lifestyle changes.

In my work with my clients, I try to work hand-in-hand with them in order to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where we can address challenges such as trauma, loss, life transitions, anxiety, depression, relationships, and LGBTQIA related experiences. I also work with folks who are struggling with their “coming out” process, racial identity, and microaggressions. In my psychotherapy practice, I work with both individuals and couples to help them through this healing journey and make them feel like they don't have to go through it alone.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and interactive. Using a holistic style, I work to help you explore the emotional, intellectual, biological, and social characteristics that factor into your concerns.

Therapy is about personal understanding, change, growth, and finding happiness within yourself. As a cognitive therapist, I help clients see the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and use this inner awareness to improve their day to day lives. I work with adolescents and adults in individual, family and couples therapy to overcome emotional and relational challenges that may be keeping them from achieving their goals and living happy, fulfilled lives. I have expertise in working with clients suffering from anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting issues, prenatal and post-natal challenges, family stressors, illness and losses of all kinds.

My ideal client aims to engage in an active partnership to build self-awareness and take action to make a change. I will give you feedback and challenge you, which is not everyone’s cup of tea! I work best with those suffering from anxiety, panic attacks, overwhelm, trauma, or emotional flooding. Many of my clients report that our work helped them shift from survival mode to a sense of thriving. I suggest homework; your progress is based on your willingness to practice. The ideal client for my strengths is someone who wants to learn and shift by discovering tangible skills and techniques they can use in their own lives.

My aim as a therapist is to foster a warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative space. I work closely with my clients to help them heal from life’s challenges and create the positive changes they’d like to see in their lives. I'd like to help you find your path to greater peace and wellness.

Therapy is a productive partnership of mutual trust, a practice ground, and safe place to voice, process, and transform experience. What is dark and daunting to do alone becomes possible with support. In our sessions clients gain insight into self-defeating thoughts, patterns, conflicts and behaviors that cause suffering. They learn positive strategies, skills and tools to confidently cope with hardship with renewed strength and flexibility. I witness clients managing intense feelings and stress with more ease, self-trust and optimism. They emerge feeling calmer and energized to decide and act in alignment with their authentic self.
