Throughout the past several years I have helped a wide range of clients including adolescents, adults, couples, and families.
My practice emphasizes on helping clients resolve immediate situations, while healing from difficult life experiences and developing strong personal and intimate relationships. I believe successful relationships are the key to having a healthy and rewarding life. The process of psychotherapy can strengthen one's sense of confidence, self-acceptance, and responsibility in daily life. It can also lead to a greater capacity for intimacy, to a more productive use of innate skills, and to experiencing more meaning and pleasure in life.

I believe the role of a therapist is to help create positive change by collaborating in a non-judgmental and mutual relationship. I endeavor to help my clients develop self-awareness and achieve their potential, enabling them to find their own answers and make transformative changes. I sensitively deal with individual and systematic/cultural influences to ensure clients’ goals and actions are manageable, realistic, and sustainable. For me, recognizing everyone’s identity and experiences, and inclusion is crucial to implementing strategies and tools that allow each individual to thrive, and to feel appreciated, seen, and heard.

I specialize in various interventions for treating trauma, communication skills, and relationship skills, including EMDR, parts work, cognitive therapy, emotionally focused therapy, and energy therapy.
Life can often feel overwhelming, with more struggle than joy. Relationships may break down due to poor communication and listening skills that you may not be aware of. Trauma may create unknown belief systems that block your emotional health and well-being, leading to symptoms such as anxiety, depression, lack of desire, low energy, emptiness, and relationship difficulties. My strength lies in helping individuals, couples, and families identify and work through ineffective life patterns, and in developing and restoring a sense of purpose and inner strength to help you achieve your life goals.
