Greetings! It’s great to have you here! Look, reaching out for help and starting therapy is a daunting process. If you’re here it means you are searching for someone to help you through a difficult time. No one calls my office or emails me because everything is “perfect.” Typically, my clients are facing major burnout, compassion fatigue, work/career issues, relationship crises, and a spattering of problems like anxiety, depression, weight gain, and attention and concentration concerns. The good news is that I have worked with them all – and each one, you included, brings something unique and impressive to the work that I do: You.

I pursued a career in therapy because I believe that holistic healing is possible. Taking care of your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual wellness, enables you to take care of others, and live a life of joy. With a background in the arts, storytelling, and visual media, I integrate the power of story in the narrative of your life, past present and future. Where are you right now? How has right now been impacted by your past, and what is a vision and purpose for who you want to be? What do you want your life to look like in the future? We can work on all this together.

Parenthood is a long process with a lot of twists and turns. Here we provide counseling to women of color who are navigating the demands of being a parent. Many parents say they have a hard time with work-life balance--they can't seem to find the right formula. Being a parent is hard, but there are ways you can learn to prioritize yourself and still give your family the love and care they need. It is important for parents to fill their cups, so they can be their best selves for their children and partners.

My experience in education, outpatient hospital settings, young adult career counseling and intergenerational living allows me to work with clients in a wide range of both age and life circumstance.
In working with my clients, we explore what holds meaning, what patterns/habits work and no longer work in their life as well as who/what helps them create balance and motivation. When clients find that some of their reactions and emotional responses are no longer having the same effect, we work together to allow their authentic self to take initiative and risks as they engage in relationships with a more healthy, centered, and intentional stance. I value and welcome my clients’ spiritual journey and faith background and the variety of practices that aid in healing and restoring integration and connection in our work together.

I also bring a background in Talent Acquisition & Recruitment, which I integrate into my work with clients seeking career counseling support.
A common myth is that we need to be in “crisis” to seek therapy, but folks at any level could benefit. Maybe things are good but not great. Maybe you could use a safe, confidential space to unload or get an unbiased view. Maybe the ways you’ve been trying haven’t produced satisfying results. Maybe you’re unsure why you feel stuck or struggle to articulate feelings. Maybe you’re questioning your purpose in career or life. Maybe you know what you want but lack the confidence or motivation to follow through.

I have supported and guided young adults struggling with career options, managing anxiety and feelings of depression.
I am a bilingual and bi-cultural therapist who values the strength of a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship. You might feel overwhelmed with finding a therapist if you are already feeling stuck. It can be hard to find someone to disclose your feelings to a "new person" during your time of vulnerability. My warm, empathetic, and non-directive approach has helped those new to therapy feel comfortable disclosing their most difficult emotions and experiences. My approach is collaborative, where I can guide you to find the right tools to feel in control of your life again.

Areas of particular interest are career changes; men's issues; relationship issues; gay men and coming out; grief and loss; trauma; depression and anxiety; the creative process; premarital counseling.
Therapy is a healthy resource. Everyone needs an objective, non-judgmental person to talk with in a confidential and warm environment. Sometimes you feel something is not quite right, but you can't put your finger on it. Other times, you know exactly what it is. Either way, telling your story can help figure things out by identifying your patterns of thought, behavior and emotions. Are any of them getting in the way? Together we discover the obstacles to achieving a stronger sense of well-being. Most importantly, we figure out how you can remove obstacles to leading a happier, more authentic life.
