I blend psychodynamic, relational-cultural, mindfulness, internal family systems, and liberation psychology approaches to help clients grappling with: childhood and relational traumas, self-esteem and identity concerns, intimacy and attachment issues, sexuality and spirituality concerns, life transitions, grief/ loss, and shame from social norms/oppression.
I find sacred purpose in helping clients navigate the complexity of human relationships in all their suffering, beauty, and diversity. This includes the relationship to our self, which has often been wounded by other significant relationships-with family, partners, friends, colleagues, faith, and society at large. Since depression, anxiety, and PTSD often have roots in relationship distress, my work supports you to heal relational wounds, ease emotional pain, and repair trust in your self’s inner wisdom to create a dynamic, loving life that aligns with your truth. My therapeutic style is compassionate, creative, and trauma-informed.

If you are looking for a therapist probably you are feeling stuck or helpless, maybe things are not just working for you in life. If you are looking for relief from such distress you have come to the right place. Psychotherapy, or “talk therapy” helps you gain insight into the complex interaction between your inner workings and external reality that is causing you stress. While pain, grief, and suffering are inevitable in life, being miserable is optional. You can either remain a part of the problem or choose to become a part of the solution, through the process of psychotherapy.

Some people start counseling because they are hurting emotionally, feeling anxious or depressed, are grieving a significant loss, or have experienced trauma or abuse.
It takes a great deal of courage to seek counseling when you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or other challenges in your life. Taking the step to pursue counseling reveals your strength to recognize that you matter. You deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Your thoughts and feelings have value. Counseling can help you explore your emotions in a safe space, help you change unwanted behaviors or develop new, healthier ones, reduce distress, and increase happiness. Doing the hard work of therapy, through the supportive relationship with a therapist, can help you feel more like your self again.

Even daily life experiences such as work, parenting, caregiving, or the experience of racism can take toll on our moods and functioning. If they are not addressed, depression, anxiety, and other stress-related concerns can keep us from being fully able to engage in our lives.

I counsel individuals (depression, transition, grief and loss, anxiety, substance abuse), couples (relationship, premarital and marital counseling), and groups (life development).
Confusing emotions, a general discontentment with life, or a life-changing event can motivate a person to seek counseling. Counseling helps us better understand our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. A better self-understanding helps us to reconsider our participation in undesired or unhealthy behaviors, improves our self-image, and positions us to engage healthier, more mutually gratifying relationships. Psychotherapy helps us to process or work through traumatic or hurtful experiences and gain insight into unhealthy emotions associated with these experiences. Over time, we can learn healthier ways to engage life and relationships.
