Nobody exists in a vacuum. Although life can be isolating, you don’t have to do it alone. In a time of DIY and instant gratification, I propose connection, collaboration, creativity, and courage in the therapeutic process. Like you, I’m human! I’m a woman, a wife, a mother, an immigrant, a person of faith, a therapist. While I believe everyone is doing their best, I honor and foster a desire for healthy change. For that, I utilize evidence-based approaches to draw on purpose and encourage self-efficacy. I invite and treasure honest feedback, and use the present moment to nourish insight-provoking reflection, and a path for thriving.
My mission is to walk with you through hardship and discomfort, and celebrate your accomplishments, especially that of becoming more who you truly are! We’ll collaborate on investigating current concerns’ root-causes, learning how to identify and regulate emotions, cope with stressors, prevent crisis, and build skills to navigate challenges and enjoy life.
Albeit challenging and humbling, therapy is extremely rewarding and transformative. Whether your reason for pursuing therapy has to do with something you did or not, there’s always something you can do about it, including letting go. You can find beauty and meaning as you wrestle in your process! Think we could work well together? I’d love to hear from you!
