Well, here we are! Most of us recovering from a global pandemic, the monkey pox, and now we must worry whether our children will be safe in their schools and whether to return to work or work from home. The decisions we must make for ourselves and our families can be difficult, and sometimes that can be very overwhelming. Life can be stressful; I know firsthand what it’s like to suffer and make sacrifices I wasn’t ready for. I too have issues; I would be lying to you if I told you otherwise. Sometimes it can feel as if we have no one to talk to and nobody who cares. Well, I care, and we can face through life’s issues together.

Are you looking to learn skills that can help you with stress, anxiety, and self-doubt? You are conscientious and smart, yet feel overwhelmed by high demands or new changes. You have also experienced a difficult childhood, characterized by a significant traumatic event, or many incidents of invalidation, such as constant criticism by your parents. As someone who grew up in an emotionally-challenged family and has worked in highly competitive environments, I have likely been in your shoes. I have also worked as a psychologist at the on-site Wellness Center of Facebook, providing counseling to its employees.

My focus is on helping people discover their innate sense of Self and purpose in life. Energies necessary for vitality, joy, and love can sometimes become blocked by trauma and its effects—including anxiety, panic, depression, or PTSD, and when one considers all that is happening in our world these days, simply coping can seem to push us to our limits.

Are things feeling a little too much right now? Has your "life sucks" playlist been on repeat lately? In our fast-paced society, it can seem "unrealistic" or "weak" to have a space where every aspect of you can exist. We put things under the rug only to find it building up too much. You want a space to sort all these things out that is non-judgemental and warm. You want to get back to being you again, however that may look. You want to feel more grounded in your ability to handle the waves of life.

The mental health issue that I’m excited to teach people more about is working with the critical self-talk, working with difficult emotions and coping with uncertainty. I encourage interactive feedback in the session as it encourages clients to engage with the material discussed during each session. I like to ask questions that require the students to challenge the critic and debate concepts and cultivate critical thinking skills and learn to express opinions from different perspectives.

As a Mental Health Counselor, I have specific experience working with eating disorders. I have worked with clients in both higher levels of care and outpatient settings. Many people know that they want change, but they are unsure how to make that change a reality, and that's where our work comes in. In addition, our sessions will focus on the whole person, which includes discussing areas involving: anxiety, depression, family and relational dynamics, self-defeating behaviors, and other challenges that might be making it difficult for you to reach your goals.

Life can be full of challenges and obstacles that we often feel we are unable to overcome. My goal is to help you discover your inner strength and motivation to keep moving forward, even when it feels too painful. I find that building strong relationships with others helps keep us emotionally regulated and feeling connected. I place heavy importance on building a strong therapeutic relationship during our initial sessions. This will help create a compassionate, safe, and growth-fostering environment where progress is inevitable.

Are you overwhelmed with navigating pressures from family, culture and society? Is it hard to find someone who can understand the intersections of your identity and life experiences? My BIPOC clients often tell me about the emotional fatigue of trying to find a provider who can understand their complex narratives. They want tools that respect their heritage and cultural wisdom. If you see yourself in any of these struggles, I invite you to schedule a free consultation with me to reclaim and rewrite your story.
