My communication style is reflective listening, person-centered, and compassion-based. There is a certain level of vulnerability and self-awareness that is admirable to be able to seek support for yourself when struggling with something significant in your life. My style is affirming, empowering, and open-minded. I believe it’s important to be open-minded, non-judgmental, and provide treatment that reflects integrity and respect. It would be my privilege to be that person for you and provide support along the way.

Life is full of challenges especially when there is pressure to fit into a one-size-fits-all mold. Many people go through life following a road map that does not feel authentic to them. It takes intentional time to get to know yourself. Much can be discovered when you slow down and become attentive to your emotions. Self-awareness can contribute to greater clarity and calmness when met with personal life changes. There is an added layer of complexity in relational changes. Whether you are getting married or becoming a parent of an emerging adult, changes like these can bring confusion and call for reflection.

In life, there are times when we feel stuck, either in a negative mindset, bad habit or situation wondering what happened and how we arrived at such a place. Often times our problems/situations are prolonged or hidden by shame, defense, hurt or anger. In these situations, what is needed is a safe nonjudgmental space where we feel seen and understood, and to explore challenges in our lives, and the possibility of change. Therapy is meant to create a safe space that allows emotional healing and restoration to take place through rapport building, openness, trust, and awareness.

You feel like you are drowning. Every day you wake up feeling overwhelmed by the number of things you have to do. On the outside, you smile and pretend you are okay but inside you feel on the edge of falling apart. Your mind is constantly running and you can’t turn it off. You have a deep desire to be the best human you can be. That desire leads you to doing all of the things yet unable to do anything to completion - even small tasks. You are doing your best but it's never enough...it doesn't feel good enough and you are so tired.

As an agent for change, transforming the stigma of therapy is very important to me. I have brought years of personal and professional experience to counseling. I have interacted with people from many diverse backgrounds, cultures, and belief systems. My approach to counseling, using cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy recognizes and respects the uniqueness of every individual I work with within a safe, non-judgmental environment. My goal is to have my client be better than they were yesterday, for themselves, their families, and their community in discussing anxiety, depression, or the stressors of life.
