We all need help to overcome challenges and reduce stress, or change how we manage stress.
Why seek help? Maybe the better question is: Why continue to suffer? If you were suffering less, what would you be doing differently in your life? For better or worse, changes in our mental health impact how we function in our relationships with friends, family, co-workers, significant others and our ability to function effectively socially, in work or school. When under too much stress, we may communicate in ways that we later regret. When our relationships suffer, then we may suffer more. Therapy can help make meaningful improvements in all of these areas. Are you ready to get to work?

Acute and long-standing stress can trigger emotions, thoughts, and reactions that shape our sense of self and our relationships. If you find it increasingly difficult to cope with stressors, stay emotionally regulated, and connect to others, I can help. My approach to therapy is compassionate, culturally responsive, collaborative, and non-pathologizing. Further, I am informed by multiple evidence-based perspectives and believe that societal influences significantly contribute to the way people receive, process, and respond to stress, problems, trauma, and relationships.
