I work with clients who, despite their best efforts, seem to keep running up against a wall. Whether it's due to past childhood traumatic experiences, current work or relationship stressors or no known reason, I would love to support you. I especially enjoy working with couples as they navigate stuck patterns of disconnection. For individuals my primary focus is usually with anxiety and parenting. Clients who come to me often want a clearer understanding of their emotional experiences and relationship patterns. A main goal my clients are looking to achieve include a deeper and stronger relationship with themselves and others.

Perhaps the concept of truly loving yourself feels very foreign to you; you might have tried other types of therapy or read self-help books but still face a harsh, almost relentless, inner critic. I specialize in working with people struggling with: fears of being a burden, the wound of feeling "not enough," self acceptance, and difficulty feeling comfortable in relationships. As well as couples who are seeking: better communication, to break repeated patterns of fighting, increase connection and intimacy, and rekindle what once was.

I also focus on the expansion and reorganization of key emotional responses; to help secure a tight bond between you and your partner in hopes of repositioning each partner’s stance during interactions to create new, beneficial interactions in partnerships.

As a Woman of Color, I'm very passionate and dedicated towards promoting wellness, healing and recovery. Living in our fast paced world, we often find ourselves feeling empty, depleted, irritable and disconnected. We begin to question life, our existence, and our purpose. My approach is holistic and mindfulness based. I have extensive experience working with diverse communities of color. This has allowed me to understand the mind body connection and how our environments contribute to our dysfunction. I am a bilingual, bi-cultural licensed therapist and graduated from Mt. St. Mary's University.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
