It’s often said that our experiences shape who we become. Whether those experiences have been positive or painful, therapy offers the opportunity to create a new kind of experience—one that can help you refine and shape new ways of being. In the hustle and bustle of living in a fast paced city, my hope for you is that during our time together we can finally pause and take up the space necessary to work and process through deep trauma wounds, underlying familial issues and identify qualities about yourself that make you unique, special and worthy of healing.

"PROGRESS, NOT PERFECTION." Three simple words with profound implications. People seek therapy for one fundamental reason: Something in their life is not working, and they want to find a solution, an answer, to make things right again. In other words, people come to counseling to change what is no longer effective. "WITH EACH STEP, I AM GETTING STRONGER." This is my guiding philosophy, personally and professionally. I firmly believe that with enough time, support and guidance, everyone is capable of creating the change, the progress they want in their life.

I work with children, adults & couples.
The most important aspect of therapy is a trusting relationship in which one feels valued, understood, recognized and seen. I work with people who want to understand the connections between past experiences and patterns in their current lives to have more satisfying relationships. The people I work with want to feel connected to others, repair past relationships, participate in corrective and reparatory experiences, understand their feelings, actions and thoughts, and be at peace with themselves. Many suffer from depression, anxiety, trauma, body image or eating, and find themselves in challenging periods of transitions.

Are you a client who is suffering from sudden life changes, relationship raptures, and shame due to past trauma? We all know that there are basic needs to be met as human beings living on the earth, we eager to be loved, heard, accepted, and freed to be just be ourselves.
