Anxiety, depression, relationship or self-esteem issues can manifest in different ways in different people.
Are you struggling to escape a painful or abusive past? Do relationship strains affect you dearly? "Trauma is a fact of life. It does not, however, have to be a life sentence." - Peter Levine. Identifying as a person of color and an immigrant who has experienced my own share of mental health and trauma struggles, I value the importance of a non-judgmental, safe space in order to identify that you are more than your past traumatic experiences. I have a deeper commitment towards the person as a whole, rather than just addressing the symptoms. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and graduated from my MSW program by January 2020.

For over 20 years in psychology, social services, & education, I've supported teens & adults who seek to overcome anxiety/depression, trauma, self-esteem issues, men's issues, family & relationship issues.
Growing up in Chicago, I learned quickly that life is happening to all of us whether we like it or not. This laid the foundation of my belief that we are all placed here on purpose, with purpose. Everything, past, present, and future, is designed to lead us to our purpose. I have chosen to follow the call on my life to help others, like yourself, examine the lessons of the past & (re)discover parts of themselves that will lead them to living a more purpose-filled life.

I do a lot of work with individuals and couples struggling in relationship issues. Anxiety, depression, conflict management and communication issues tend to be the results of clients applying ineffective solutions to the problems they're experiencing. I love to see the individual and/or couple who seriously desire healthy change in their lives and are willing to risk implementing different approaches to their problems. I work well in family related issues. I have several adolescent guys with issues related to ADD, ADHD, and Aspergers. I offer them an environment that's safe, accepting, understanding and validating.

Each person and relationship is unique so I use aspects of a few modalities in my work (Narrative, EFT, and SFBT).
Starting therapy can feel daunting. Will my therapist understand me? How can I trust this stranger with my most vulnerable thoughts and feelings? Will this really help my anxiety/ relationship/emotions/etc.? Is it worth it? First, you are not alone in these thoughts. Deciding to seek therapy and finding a therapist are big steps towards change that can be challenging. Second, I am here to walk alongside you through this process at your own pace. I believe that every thought and behavior makes sense in context. Therefore, I collaborate with you to explore and understand your personal context so we can successfully facilitate change.

What is injured in relationship can be healed in relationship.
There are so many reasons you may be interested in therapy. You may find yourself in a season where you want deeper connection, or just have a feeling something needs to change. You may be in a relationship that seems stuck in a distressing pattern of conflict and are looking for hope. You may notice yourself reacting, escaping, or coasting through life. You are not alone. One of the most courageous and sacred things we can ever do is to open up to someone we trust and let them speak into our life. That is what I'm here for.

I bring my own life experience and knowledge about relationship dynamics to the therapy room using various theoretical models including Narrative, CBT, Solution-Focused to name a few.
Our life experiences and our relationships with others create a unique story about our lives. There are times when this story unfolds in beautiful harmony and there are times that it seems like life is a hot mess. My approach to counseling is to help individuals, couples, and families discover pathways to finding peace and joy in the present and hope for the future. This may involve digging into past experiences and relationships to find different meaning and/or evaluating the circumstances of the present. Counseling offers an opportunity for everyone that is as unique as the fingerprints we leave in the course of our lives.

Choosing a therapist with over 21 years experience, who has written a book on the stages of being in an emotionally abusive relationship with a narcissist, as well as 47 published articles on the subject provides you one of the best opportunities to find your answers.
Narcissistic Emotional Abuse - Nothing makes sense anymore. Two plus two no longer equals four. I search, find nothing. I feel like I'm going 'crazy.' "You're imagining things! I might as well be doing it as you're always blaming me for something." BUT YET, I know they are doing the very thing they say they're not doing and I keep second guessing myself. I want a simple life, yet nothing is simple anymore. Everything is just plain CRAZINESS. If you can relate to any of these situations, you most likely are involved with a narcissist, are being emotionally abused and need help. Are you feeling hopeless, worthless, lost and confused?

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
