In our session, I will help you explore your feelings, examine patterns in your thoughts and behaviors, and identify other destructive inhibitions that are creating challenges for you. We will use a holistic treatment approach that will identify your strengths, areas of needed growth, and overall promotes your well being. By teaching tools for coping and change tailored to each individual in an environment of compassion and support, I have helped individuals and families to find a balance and move forward when life challenges arise.

I work with a wide range of clients from a variety of cultural backgrounds in person and remotely. Clients learn to reduce stress and work with their feelings in ways that lead to personal growth and development. Mindfulness, deep breathing and body awareness are used to reduce anxiety, depression, excessive self-criticism, perfectionism, detachment and emotional flooding. These problematic feelings can lead to growth, greater empathy for self and others as well as greater kindness towards others in their life when worked with creatively in psychotherapy.

Are you navigating a major life transition, considering making a big change in your life, or questioning your identity? Do you long for a life that is better aligned with what matters to you most but have little time to focus on yourself? You might be thinking that weekly, ongoing therapy isn’t the right thing for you right now. But what if you could simply check-in with a seasoned professional to assess your goals and options once, or just a few times a year? Whatever the challenges you face, I’m here to offer support as your "drop in" therapist. It's kind of like "on-demand" counseling.

Are you dramatic or is it stress or anxiety or fears...or dare I say trauma? Or have you noticed a pattern in you that cannot quite distinguish where it came from or how to overcome it? It can be difficult to navigate life outside of self in your inner world feels unbalanced. An unbalanced inner world tends to affect your day-to-day life, relationships (familial, romantic, or platonic,) careers, and goals. This can feel life-altering when all you crave is peace. Oftentimes, marginalized groups of people are not given the same grace as our counterparts. This is a space to express your innermost thoughts, feelings, and emotions.
