The decision to begin therapy is not simple and often comes at a particularly challenging time in your life. I know how difficult it can be to reach out during these times and my goal is to respond with curiosity, open-mindedness, and empathy. I believe that lasting change can come from exploring and ultimately freeing ourselves from the underlying causes of current symptoms. I want to work together with you to find ways to gain insight and relief. I work in an open and transparent manner, to help answer any questions or concerns you have along the way.

It’s not always easy to ask for help. It often takes courage to recognize that something is off and that your feelings and behaviors have overwhelmed your resources to cope. You may have already put considerable time and energy into your wellness and yet are baffled by why it is that you still are experiencing things like negative beliefs about yourself, overwhelming emotions, knee-jerk emotional reactions, difficulty having the kind of relationships or work you truly want, or why it is that you engage in self-destructive behavior. I'm here to help you gain freedom from these patterns so that you can live the life you deserve.

I’ve helped single women find happiness and security within themselves, build fulfilling relationships, and cultivate a life they truly desire.
Hey single ladies, I get it. You’re tired. It’s getting harder not to feel lonely, sad, and down on yourself. Confronted with the stigma 'being single' can carry. You judge yourself, internalizing shame and embarrassment. You wonder, 'What's wrong with me?' It impacts your self-esteem. You're worried about your life path and pattern of failed relationships, and that grief grows louder. This isn’t how you imagined your life. Coping is tough when faced with the unfair perception of being single is bad. I help single women struggling with loneliness discover they DO have the power to create a fulfilling life with healthy relationships.

You're a student or soon-to-be student who is working hard but you need an updated assessment to ensure you can continue your success. Maybe you feel as though your prior assessment is outdated, and you need current testing to help identify better supports.

We all sometimes face challenges in life that we just can't resolve on our own. It might be a transition in your life that has brought unexpected trials: adulthood, marriage or divorce. raising a family, children leaving home, caring for your aging parents, the loss of a loved one, or facing your own aging and mortality. It might be a conflict in a relationship. Or it might be more of an internal struggle giving rise to anxiety, depression, or struggles with self-defeating behaviors. A fresh perspective can make all the difference. I work with both couples and individuals, providing expertise gained from 40 years' experience.

My philosophy in working with adults & teen is to share cognitive and mindfulness techniques, in a supportive setting, to help my clients make positive changes in their thoughts and actions. Utilizing personal accountability, combined with humor and lightness, I aim to help clients cultivate compassion for themselves, so they may be willing to experiment with new tools. I strive to help clients come back into their bodies, more effectively process their feelings, and move decisively toward wellness. My theory is to be flexible and sensitive in my approach while moving clients toward a more confident, realized version of themselves.

As a multi-ethnic woman, sometimes I have felt that it is difficult to find spaces where I feel that every aspect of my identity is accepted.
Are you wanting to experience more ease and happiness? I want to congratulate you on taking the first steps towards finding someone to come alongside you during this time. Maybe you are experiencing a big life change like the end of a relationship, a change in your career, a move, or a recent loss. Maybe you have often found comfort in spirituality and nature but still have a sense that something is still missing. Maybe you feel the weight of these last few years of covid. We have all been through a lot!
