I help parents and caregivers shift from often feeling out of control, regretful, defeated, ashamed, and overwhelmed to feeling empowered, in control and regulated, confident, connected with their children and loved ones, and managing their stress in a healthy way.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by life? Are your relationships plagued with conflict? Do you have trouble falling asleep at night or wake up dreading the day? Do you want more out of life but lack the confidence and self-esteem necessary to take action? The most common feedback that I get from clients is that my nonjudgmental and compassionate approach gives them hope that change is possible. I work with adults who have one or more children of any age and struggle with stress due to lack of self-care, mental health issues (i.e. anxiety, depression, trauma), relationship issues, parenting children with special needs, etc.

You're a hard-working, successful, intelligent and very capable person who does a lot, gives a lot, and cares a lot. And also - you're tired. You're stressed. Maybe you're even burned out. To everyone else, you look like you know what you're doing. But inside - something isn't adding up. You know you need to make changes but maybe you don't know what changes. Or maybe you don't know how to make those changes. Maybe you doubt if you even have time to make those changes! You probably have a sense that you have some "unresolved" crud from your past creeping in. But you also may not know where to begin. You just want to feel better!

I offer presence, kindness, lots of time and space, and some great tools to support your organism's natural impulse to return to a balanced state. Often that rebalancing has been trying to happen for a while, but the conditions haven't been quite right. I'm here to support you in listening deeply to your inner wisdom (body, mind, heart, soul, energy field) and support you in finding a sense of capacity and presence and joy in your life.

My philosophy is change starts from the inside out with a choice and realization that it is for our higher good. As part of the human experience, there are times when unexpected losses, betrayals or traumatic events can leave us feeling alone with a host of negative emotions, feeling stuck in grief, anger, bitterness, anxiety and depression.

I believe we all have the right to be heard and loved, to be listened to, and to have our therapist be fully present and helpful. I have great interest in working with couples and families who are wanting to improve their relationships as well as individuals who suffer from anxiety, depression, trauma, difficult life experiences. Having worked with Middle Eastern refugees and immigrants who face many cultural challenges in their voyage to a new and strange country has helped me to hone my skills in this relational context. I look forward to working with you!

I have a relaxed approach that is spiced with humor and education. My goal is to have a comfortable and creative environment to help you make the changes you want to see. I'm big on education and will likely push books, articles, and videos on you; or at least summarize to the best of my ability. I'm also big on self acceptance and self-awareness, using practical mindfulness and personal intelligence as a guide. This means getting to know yourself and your strengths to learn how to use them to help yourself.
