Life can be stressful and overwhelming. Feelings of anxiety and depression can occur during challenging times.

Non-judgmental, open-minded conversations within the context of a trusting relationship can help. Connecting with someone who can relate to your perspectives helps relieve stress and paves the way to lasting, meaningful change.

This a group practice that employs clinicans of various ethnicities and backgrounds. People come to therapy due to feeling excessive stress at work, at home, or in their relationships. They find the pressures of everyday life have exceeded their abilities, overwhelmed their senses, and left them with an inability to cope. They are often having problems with school, completing tasks, getting along with others at work, and finding activities enjoyable. We believe in the resiliency of the human spirit, and that therapy is a process of exploring and getting to know oneself.

Many clients that we work with to have come to a place where they realize the approaches they have been using are no longer working for them and change is necessary. Perhaps they feel out of control because they have been suffering from high stress, increased anxiety, loss of sense of self, trauma, relationship or parenting issues, or depression. Our clients come to us because they want to regain control of their life and reduce their pain.

Are you struggling in life and feeling stuck? Do you believe no one understands or fully sees you?

They struggle due to their fractured sense of self and relationships, grief and loss, and unprocessed past traumas/stress. In our sessions, I establish a warm working relationship in which my clients know they will be met with respect and empathy, while experiencing a true sense of belonging.

While others think you are good enough in the eyes of others, but you still don't feel good enough while you evaluate yourself.

Navigating life is challenging, and sometimes we could use a little help becoming the best versions of ourselves.

One of the greatest things about counseling is that you have everything you need to initiate the change you want to see in your life. I would love to help you navigate in uncovering those resources.

In my work with clients, I seek to establish a supportive, empathetic, and consistent relationship that will be the foundation for deep introspection and growth.
