Therapy is a collaborative process in which we gently explore your history and build on your strengths to create a greater sense of connection - to you and your loved ones. We will increase your capacity and develop tools to become unstuck. I use a person-centered, attachment-based, trauma-informed, and multicultural approach. I have significant experience working with those who are healing from interpersonal trauma and complex grief. I work with most clients who are navigating anxiety, sexuality, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I work with couples who hope to increase intimacy and improve communication.

“In a society that says, ‘Put yourself last,’ self-love and self-acceptance are revolutionary.”-Brene Brown. Perhaps you have been considering therapy for a while, maybe this is a return for new strategies, or life’s constant upheavals have necessitated you to consider our support. Individual counseling and coaching clients can expect our therapists to provide an open and non-judgmental space for honest dialogue, creative problem-solving strategies, and the use of individually tailored and structured treatment plans, of which you are an active collaborator, to meet your goals.

If you are currently going through struggles in life or hitting some obstacles, know that it's normal and it happens to all of us at various times. Anxiety and depressive symptoms often arise as a result. The question is, how are you coping? Sometimes without being aware of it, we develop destructive coping mechanisms by masking or shoving things down. With over 20 years of experience I help guide clients towards healthier tools to live a more functional and fulfilling life, and improve relationships along the way. Above all else the key component centers around self care, learning to take care of you.

Have you found yourself feeling just plain stuck? Are you curious about building a deeper sense of self awareness, perhaps an ability to connect more thoughtfully in your relationships? Life can get busy and it's easy for self care and the care of our relationships to fall by the wayside. Our work together may look like processing past trauma, exploring dysfunctional patterns or navigating life transitions. Clients I work with can benefit not only from gaining understanding as to why they get stuck in unproductive patterns but also by identifying tangible ways they can practice healthier alternatives moving forward.

What if I told you that there is place where you can feel safe, understood, and in control of your life? Congrats, you came to the right place! In life, we can often feel lost, alone, and disconnected from the world around us. In therapy, you and I can work together to take the steps to reach the goals that you want to accomplish. My goal is to create a safe and empathetic environment that you feel accepted and comfortable in.

Life is a journey, and sometimes we all need a little help finding our way. Welcome to my Psychology Today profile! I specialize in working with individuals who are searching for purpose and meaning in their lives, particularly those who may be struggling with depression, grief, and life transitions. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next steps, I'm here to offer support, guidance, and a listening ear.

Life brings a vast amount of changes to both individuals and families. We will work together to create a judgment free, empathy driven environment where self reflection, exploration and healing can occur.

Those who have a why to live can bear any how. Many of us are in some form of suffering, and this can derail us from a meaningful life. Learning how to live with our pain so as to gain purpose and meaning is a true endeavor. From a collaborative process, I help my clients to establish what purpose they seek and discover ways to validate our pain, learning to control rather than being controlled by our fears, depression, et cetera. Through therapeutic interventions, we can learn to accept how we think, feel, and act. Subsequently allowing us the opportunity to discover new areas for growth and healing..
