I remember going through the motions of living life how I thought others wanted me to live. I was always putting others first and myself second, and although I gained joy from some of these experiences, knowing that I was not true to myself and who I wanted to be made me feel lazy and unfulfilled. While I was working on my Masters, the teachings of martial arts and eastern philosophy coincided with my academic lessons in a way that gave me perspective on how I could better myself, my mood, and the lives of others. I have felt a great improvement on my outlook and my ability to assist others in battling their own crossroads.

Life is full of experiences and memories that challenge our confidence and obstruct our pursuit of happiness, excellence, and contentment. The modern world programs us to protect and guard ourselves, and those we love, by ignoring or discounting our complex emotions and traumatic memories – emotions and memories that negatively affect our enormous potential.

I strive to deliver compassionate counseling with sincere dedication to service, and to do so as efficiently as possible in order to help alleviate stress and anxiety, and encourage emotional independence. My practice is rooted in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). REBT, the pioneering form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), is a goal-oriented therapeutic approach that helps people to challenge and replace self-defeating beliefs with healthier alternatives. REBT is generally shorter-term, solution-focused, and present-centered which makes it an amazing choice for those who not only wish to FEEL better, but to GET better.

We all have times in our lives when pressures, responsibilities, and even memories can seem too much. This can impact our relationships, physical health, employment, and overall well-being. These issues can cause us to feel as though we are merely surviving life, rather than living it. I would welcome the opportunity to help you change that.

Does your High Functioning Anxiety make you worry all the time, overthink and make it hard to say no to others? On the outside, maybe you appear to have it all together, you're successful, ambitious and a problem solver. But on the inside, it's a very different story because you struggle with overthinking, self doubt and a mind that can't stop overanalyzing!

There may be times when you feel like it is challenging to fit in with others. You may feel like a triangle living in a square world. Eventually, this masking to fit in can leave us feeling down, burnt out, anxious, and insecure to show others who we are. You may be an empathetic person who finds it difficult to express your own emotions or feel affected easily by others. My approach to our sessions is brought with warm collaboration, support for your needs, and encouragement to become an independent thinker so that you can progress towards a more authentic life.
