Sometimes our relationships with others, or ourselves, get stuck. We may have lost direction, purpose, or meaning, and we become unsure of who we are or who we are in our relationships with other people. We may feel alone, sad, or scared. Some of us become overwhelmed by naming these emotions. Some of us may choose to isolate ourselves and think we must navigate this life alone. In these moments, we are invited to pay attention; when we do, we begin healing. Therapy can be a gift, inviting you to look inward and grow.

With more than 20 years experience as a psychologist in diverse settings, I gained valuable clinical work experience and improved my mastery of psychotherapy. I continue to enhance my skills on a variety of evidence-based therapy techniques. Working with a diverse group of clientele brings me a sense of fulfillment and reward. I believe that active listening, understanding, providing empathy and showing genuine compassion, walking with someone in their path to recovery/healing are ways that one can achieve a sense of awareness and clarity, then eventually find a balance between change and acceptance.

I can't imagine getting much out of only hearing “uh-huh" or the overly used, “how does that make you feel?”. Therapy is most effective when it's a conversation. Occasional use of humor and swearing can help create an uncensored and honest therapeutic relationship. I work well with people who experience anxiety, depression, or those who are having a difficult time connecting and communicating with their partner(s). Patterns are difficult to break whether they are behavioral or having the same conversations over and over again; I’m here to help break those patterns and help establish new and more effective ones.

Trauma impacts every aspect of day-to-day life, but it does not have to rule you. Suppose you are looking to explore your trauma, develop coping skills, and work through the various symptoms that are associated with trauma (for example, depression and anxiety). You may also want a nonjudgmental, safe environment to engage in play, art, music, or other expressive means to work through your unique needs. In that case, we may be a great match for one another!

I believe that our minds and hearts, like our bodies, possess an innate wisdom and ability to heal, given the right environment and structure. Sometimes we get stuck in old patterns and beliefs that helped us in the circumstances we learned them in, but need to be updated in order to allow us to fully embody our best, most authentic and empowered selves. Therapy can assist us in learning more about what automatic programs our system is running, and give us the tools to make these changes.
