The step to enter into counseling is a courageous one, it encompasses your willingness to connect, to be vulnerable, and to seek hope in healing. I see counseling as a way for clients to make change, to liberate one’s self from patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving that may not be serving you effectively. These patterns are often imposed by society, family, and ones' own culture and/or gender. Counseling is a space to help navigate all that comes with life’s changes. In practice, I specialize in anxiety, depression, grief/loss, OCD, infertility, postpartum, relationships, job change/loss, and other adjustment related stressors.
I am well versed in working with clients from a myriad of cultures, values and backgrounds. I treat the therapeutic process as collaborative and interactive, and I utilize various modalities best suited for your presenting concerns. Often the experiences of our past greatly impact our present. We explore these connections to help you make meaningful change.
Our lives are filled with both incredible happiness and calm, as well as times of loss and overwhelming difficulty. My approach to counseling comes from a place of authenticity and genuine interest in the human condition and most importantly, your story. I encourage you to seek help to move forward through life's changes.
