“We never have to be stuck in the moment of our negative experiences. You never have to be a victim to external circumstances or internal emotions. We all possess the power to control our emotions and thoughts while shaping our destiny in the healthiest manner through action.” Are you stressed out and anxious? Does it feel no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to be happy? Are you struggling with feeling sad all the time? Have you tried to solve the problems in your life on your own and realized you need help from someone else? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you have made the right choice by being here.
I work with a culturally diverse group of individuals with various racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, and cultural backgrounds including various lifestyles, experiences, and interests; specializing in the treatment of individuals (teenagers and adults) who have challenges with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and addictions.
Common goals for therapy include restoring healthy relationships, diminishing symptoms of depression and anxiety, increasing communication coping skills, healing past trauma or loss, and transforming them to productive patterns of healthier life choices, behaviors, and emotions. My goal is to work in a collaborative manner with you to improve your life.
