26 years as a clinical social worker has taught me that finding the right therapist is like trying on a pair of shoes. It has to be the right fit for you to start the journey of self-exploration. I believe in a strength based approach, where we not only explore the issues that brought you to therapy, but we explore how to expand the things that bring you joy and happiness. As Dr. Seuss once said, “life is a great balancing act” and he could not have been more right.

Sometimes life's challenges and personal struggles can't be overcome alone. Friends are wonderful for support; however, they aren't always equipped to guide us to the best solutions or self fulfillment that we inherently desire. My therapeutic approach involves both long and short term therapy to uncover hidden obstacles that may be hindering personal growth or healing. Together we can find strategies and tools to build upon the strengths and abilities that, perhaps, have been buried or are yet to be discovered.

One of the bravest things we can do is work to understand our own stories. While we are a product of our family, ancestors, environment, and society, we don't have to stay stuck in patterns that no longer serve us. We all have the ability to change and live a more balanced, meaningful life. You might be feeling stuck juggling school/work, other's expectations, and conflicts with family, or you might be struggling to find meaning as you go through life transitions, immigration, work and relationships. I am here to support you as we create a safe space for you to explore your journey and goals.

You've been struggling for far too long obsessing about food and your body. You are ready for a change. It's time. Maybe you've been stuck restricting, emotional eating, binging, or over-exercising. You work hard to stick to the plan, but you just feel like you can’t be trusted around food. On the outside, everything looks great. People think you “have it all” but inside it feels like you’re a total fraud. Each day, you're determined to do things differently, to finally get things “under control,” but you're trapped on this never-ending cycle. You know there's got to be a better way, but you have no idea where to start.

I have been in practice 27 years. I am what some people would call a "wounded healer" because I have been sober 36 years and I am also in recovery from codependency and love addiction. I believe you can change your life for the better because I have changed my life for the better. If you love someone who does not love you back, I can help you to stop loving them and help you to start loving yourself. If you cannot say no, I can teach you how to say no in kind way and mean it.
