I'd like to support you going through the difficult moment you might be experiencing now. Life is no doubt challenging but a better and quality life should never be too much to ask. In my practice, I work with children, adolescents, adults, seniors, individuals, couples, and families. I have years of experience working with children and teens from ages 3 to 17 with different kinds/levels of issues and challenges. In the process, parent- child or family relational issues sometimes reveal and could be addressed through additional work or referrals.

I am trained in sand tray therapy, CBT, and play therapy to work with children.
You might be feeling anxious and overwhelmed. Memories haunt you. When those thoughts come, you find yourself with your chest tightening, headaches, and possibly crying. You feel hopeless, exhausted, on edge, overextended, and stressed. You find yourself overthinking. There is no safety in the world. These are affecting your relationships, communication, work, and sleep. You long for connection and meaning of life. I enjoy helping children, (5-11), adults and couples who want to work on their trauma, anxiety, grief, transitions, or relationships. I have a passion to work with immigrants, military veterans, and the LGBTQ community.

As a resilient survivor of decades of trauma, I am passionate about serving children, adolescence, adults, and their families to promote healing from physical, emotional, sexual, intergenerational, and racial traumas.

Communication problems exist in many families and can greatly affect intimacy, family stability, and mental health. Despite their great efforts, many parents still find their children developing psychological issues. Intense arguments, divorces, and breakups often occur when they could have been avoided. Family members often feel helpless, thinking communication is impossible. Don't give up. I support families in need, whether you want to improve interaction before marriage or are on the brink of divorce trying to save your relationship.

Harmony. When you think of harmony, one might picture different things coming together that work so well simultaneously and you feel a sense of peace. When things aren’t working well together, there is a clash or dissonance, causing more stress and more problems. I came across a video on Instagram from Nedra Glover Tawwab (nedratawwab) where she talked about the difference between balance and harmony. You see, my ultimate goal in life was to achieve balance when in fact what I was envisioning was harmony. “Harmony is getting things to flow in your life in a cohesive way. Balance is getting everything to be equal."

You don’t understand why your family causes you so many sleepless nights. You need someone to talk to but feel shame bringing up family issues or you don’t know where to start. You try to please everyone but you end up being the unhappy one. You cut off toxic family relationships but this leaves you feeling guilt, loneliness, and resentment. To prove yourself, you work hard and sometimes overcompensate. Past unresolved issues consume your energy, make you question yourself, and become hesitant to try a new relationship. You don’t want to be your parents but you don’t know how not to. You doubt if you can live a different life.

It's time to break free from old patterns. Do you feel like you’ve been struggling with the same cycle of emotions for years and don’t know if it will ever get better? Have you ever felt like your problems aren’t “bad enough” for counseling? You may be highly functional in some areas of your life while below the surface you are struggling with some heavy feelings. I believe that breaking these cycles is a courageous and transformative journey.
