Thank you for taking the first step and being here. Are you experiencing hurdles in life such as work stress, family issues, or relationship difficulties/issues? Do you suffer from anxiety, depression, trauma or grief? Do you often find it difficult to find the words to describe your feelings? Or to open up to people and feel a connection with them? Most likely, you've answered yes to at least one of these areas of concern. You are not alone; in the emotions, experiences, and pain that comes with life. I believe that every person who seeks counseling has their own answers to their unique situations.

Have you ever felt life has to be okay all the time? Change is a normal part of life. However, we do not always know how to best navigate through the emotions brought on by these changes. Therapy can be the safe space needed to start your journey towards reaching your personal goals.

My ideal client is anyone willing to invest the time and effort it takes to improve upon themselves and to live life to their fullest potential. I enjoy focusing my skills on assisting youth with behavioral issues, helping guide parents, and facilitating healthy relationships. It is my belief that often times our own past experiences impact how we see ourselves and the world around us. I feel very strongly that by entering into a therapeutic relationship with a skilled therapist, we can uncover some of those past experiences and identify how they have contributed to our current life circumstances.

It can be challenging to process painful memories/emotions in therapy. I aim to create a safe space for everyone to feel comfortable being themselves. I have years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in different settings like schools, community clinics, hospitals, etc. I seek to reduce the stigma placed on mental health, the geek/nerd community, ethnic minorities, and everyone who is often viewed as ‘other.’

I see therapy as a journey towards an authentic and meaningful life. There are many reasons to use therapy as a tool to move your life onto its best course. Often a crisis forces your hand and you know you can't take the next steps alone. Any major life change in family, relationships, work, or health could be the reason for seeking help. Therapy may also be the right choice when long-standing feelings of anxiety, unhappiness or shame have blocked your path. When our work together ends you will have confidence that your life is in healthy balance.

These are unprecedented and difficult times. I invite you, to give me permission to guide you: in finding relief, happiness, confidence, healthier relationships, work life balance, and wellness. I am a culturally sensitive therapist who believes in working as a team. You are the most valuable player, and I am here to support you through the challenges of life and emotional health. I will provide you with information to help you gain insight and learn coping skills to overcome your emotional struggles. I will teach you skills to build healthier relationships. Now is the time to start living more of the life that you want.

Whether we have grown up with old hurts or find ourselves overwhelmed with current stressors, I believe there are times when we come to the limit of our capacity to cope well and need to seek professional help. I believe that learning new ways of thinking and acting with the aid of a compassionate therapist can help clients be more fully engaged in their lives and offer myself as a partner in this process. I use a variety of approaches primarily drawn from mindfulness, cognitive behavioral, and psycho-dynamic models to help clients master current life challenges.

You've thought about how great it would be to be truly free but are having a hard time believing this can actually be for you. You want to be able to let go of the pain you've been carrying as this pain has lead to unhealthy habits and relationships that you know don't align with who you are. You want to be free from the hurt, unforgiveness, shame and to heal the wounds that still sting. You desire freedom and deep down, you do believe that's attainable.
