I have worked with clients from various backgrounds in race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, socioeconomic status & political affiliations. My mission is to help you to improve your life skills and to progress from the difficult experiences that you've had.

I am an interactive therapist. I help clients attain their therapy goals more quickly by taking an active role, rather than simply mirroring their feelings, which I also do. I focus primarily on mind/body connections, however, my overall approach is creative and eclectic. In therapy we explore the past, finding connections to current patterns that cause pain and dysfunction; then work on bringing the client's life into balance. I have many years working in business, schools and private practice, working with depression, anxiety, panic, PTSD, addictions, bereavement, relationship problems, occupational stresses, at-risk adolescents and marital problems.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with eclectic clinical training and experience working through a multicultural lens.
Starting therapy can be overwhelming. My goal is to eliminate that stress and create a space for adolescents, adults, couples, and families to process emotions and explore their identities and their relationships in a non-judgmental, safe environment. We all undergo transitions and experiences that require additional support from an objective third party to allow us to thrive personally and interpersonally. I utilize individualized, evidence-based approaches to foster a collaborative environment that produces long-term change.

Overthinking things. Analyzing every decision to death. Wanting to know for sure what the outcome will be. Not taking the first step unless you feel for sure it will work out the way you want it to. These obsessive tendencies can be paralyzing. They can hold you back from living a more enjoyable life. There is hope and help. I have devoted my work to helping people overcome symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety, Phobias, and Panic Attacks.

Do you have an irrational, gut feeling you can't seem to shake? Maybe something telling you that you're not good enough, unsafe, powerless...? Sometimes, difficult experiences in our past can cloud how we live in and see the present. We find ourselves overreacting to things or people, feeling anxious or worthless. Our head can tell us we are being irrational, but that doesn't change the feeling. One of my goals is in helping you re-process the experiences in your life that push these feelings, so you not only know that you're okay - you feel it.
