I have the belief that life is a continuous learning process, and each experience has a meaning. However, our minds do not always know how to navigate everyday challenges assertively. We do not always know how to understand and unfold the present; we may have difficulty integrating the past and planning for the future. That is why we can feel stressed, frustrated, discouraged, sad, stuck, or unhappy. But the good news is that life turns into whatever color you paint it. Your experience is filtered through the lens of your perception. We can learn to change the lens through which we observe. What colors would you put in your life?

Hi! My name is Keilan. In our current society talking about mental health issues has become more acceptable. However, that does not take away from the difficulty of seeking help and breaking free of old patterns of thinking. If you are reading this, it means you are ready to take action. I am experienced in helping my clients break out an array of maladaptive behaviors and challenges brought to them by life, family trauma and societal pressure. My goal as a therapist is to provide a supportive and engaging environment where we tackle the burdens of your mind. Together we will create new coping tools to deal with life's challenges.

To live a rich and meaningful life means to experience a wide variety of emotions, some of which are more desirable than others. Sometimes our life experiences can be so overwhelming that we find ourselves struggling just to get through the day. For some of us, mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD or substance abuse problems can make life difficult or even unmanageable. I believe that therapy is a place where people experiencing mental distress can process emotions, learn coping skills and work toward goals in a safe, non-judgmental and supportive environment.
