I currently work full-time as a therapist with adolescents, adults, and couples.
All meaningful lives involve pain, there is no escaping this. Even if we cannot avoid pain, we can learn to rise above it and still create a life worth living. Life will never be unbearable due to circumstances, but only from a lack of purpose and meaning. My job is to help you look at your situation differently, and to develop a committed action plan to make the positive changes you have been wanting to. Like the Serenity Prayer says, we need to accept the things we cannot change, and have courage to change what we can, starting with ourselves.

Emotions all over the place with yourself, family or your children? I work with all ages to help my clients as individuals to better understand themselves and build skills to improve functioning in their environment more constructively. I work within their reality to use real life examples that make sense to them and therefore applicable to their lives. Role-play, reenactments, visual aids, art, play therapy constructs, puppets, etc. are examples utilized with younger ages. Different modalities of talk therapy which allow the client to set specific goals of treatment at a pace that feels comfortable are utilized with adults.

I have a diverse range of experiences with children and adults encountering depression, anxiety, adjustment issues, low self-esteem, bereavement, substance abuse, poor emotion regulation skills, and having difficulty coping.
I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship for healing the wounds of the past and the present. In order to understand the complexities of problems nested in cultural beliefs and values in the individuals’ life, I use a culturally sensitive approach to support individuals in navigating their experiences. I strive to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to express and process their emotions. Therapy is a unique experience and I believe that finding the right fit is extremely important. My clinical approach would depend on the person and presenting issue that is brought into the therapy session.
