My areas of specialization include parenting support, anxiety and OCD, and stage of life issues with teens and adults.
I strive to create safe space where clients can feel comfortable examining their strengths and challenges. I see myself as a guide on this journey of self-discovery, and I believe it's important to look together at the multiple contexts that affect us as individuals, from our family backgrounds to the meanings that we attach to our experiences in order to find our authenticity. I use an individualized approach grounded in family systems to guide clients on their journeys of self-exploration, weaving mindfulness and cognitive behavioral techniques into sessions. I am trained in Exposure and Response Prevention through IOCDF.org.

I work with adults, couples and adolescents.
My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can feel seen, heard and accepted. I believe it is the relationship between client and therapist where so much of the work happens. We can work collaboratively to explore relational patterns, understand the connection between thoughts, emotions and behavior, and get curious about what may be holding you back from a deeper connection to self and others.

I support teens and adults through a variety of struggles such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, life transitions, trauma, and cultural identity exploration.
Navigating this journey that we call life can be both challenging and complex at times. And when we've finally made the decision to seek support along this journey, it can be even more challenging to find someone whom you feel truly listens and supports you. As a person-centered therapist, I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, empathetic space for clients to show up as they are. And by using a strengths-based approach of DBT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing, I strive to support my clients in gaining the necessary coping skills to thrive in their lives.

There's a way out. Give me a call and let's talk! I focus on building a safe and trusting relationship with my clients. From this relationship the process of change and growth occurs. I work well with adolescents and adults who are dealing with interpersonal relationships, or phase of life struggles. I am experienced working with any stage of addiction or recovery. My clients comment on how easy they feel it is to "open-up" with me. I believe that this is due to the fact that I am open and honest with my clients, refusing to hide who I am behind silence, or simply treating them like "patients".

I work with teens, adults, and couples.
Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, or other challenges, I am here to support you and provide you with a space to reach your goals. The measure of mental health is not feeling happy all the time—it is the ability to move through difficult moments and continue forward. I hope to help all of my clients develop the self-compassion that they need to be kind to themselves while learning how to integrate their history with present day experiences and emotions. Major goals are often setting appropriate boundaries, self-care, managing acute symptoms, improving communication skills, and developing new identities.

I believe you are doing the best you can. I also know that a lifetime of numerous external factors have a way of shifting and molding your perspective and abilities. Upon this realization, however it manifests, is when it becomes an excellent time to reach out and draw in help from someone who is unbiased, nonjudgmental, understands human nature, and has done their own inner work. That's where I come in. I believe that psychotherapy acts as a path towards self-discovery. When you truly understand your own patterns, motivations, and wounds, you have a divine offer to evolve into the healthiest version of yourself.

Together with my clients, I create a safe and supportive space to explore the issues where they feel stuck and unable to move forward in their lives. From a client-centered approach we uncover core false beliefs, attachment patterns and other difficulties often at the root of suffering, which blocks many from living a life of inner peace and connection to others. I help facilitate the nurturing of internal strengths within the person to cultivate acceptance, healing and growth. My focus is on eating disorders, substance abuse, self-harm and other maladaptive behaviors, including underlining issues of anxiety, depression and trauma.
