My ideal client may need help with confidence, relationships, or learning who they are. They aim to reduce symptoms of clinical diagnoses and work with me to see progress in their lives. This client would want to learn more about themselves and improve their relationships with others and with themselves. They would be a motivated and insightful client who attends sessions regularly and comes prepared with topics to discuss. I would help this client by listening to them and their thoughts, offering support, and building a rapport with them.

My clients generally describe me as an active, challenging, and empathic psychologist. I often find myself compassionately joining with clients in the middle of their difficulties, so that we can collaborate on finding a way out together. It's not uncommon for me to give clients feedback on their choices, while I also respect clients' autonomy. I work best with individuals and couples who are invested in their own growth and willing to experiment with new behaviors and perspectives. I tend to rely on relational-cultural and mindfulness-based approaches, and I am also open to adapting my approach to address clients' unique needs.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker, with experience in providing individual therapy to adults. I've worked primarily with individuals struggling with ADHD, depression, anxiety, relational issues, and various forms of trauma. I utilize a few modalities including narrative, person-centered, and relational therapy. My approach is one that is informed by compassion and the belief that everyone is equipped with internal resources to find their way to a life that feels healthier, happier, and more aligned with who they are and what they need.

Are you suffering from symptoms of depression, ADHD, anxiety, bipolar, autism spectrum, OCD, and/or PTSD? I'm here to help facilitate your healing process and provide a safe space to voice your deepest concerns freely. Our goal is to significantly improve your self-concept, increase a positive outlook on life, and, most importantly, feel like your best self.

Do you have concerns about your ability to cope with anger, anxiety, career transitions, and/or intimacy and interpersonal issues? Are you feeling disconnected? Often, we can find ourselves in a “life loop” that can make us feel like we’re on autopilot. Sometimes those feelings of anger, anxiety, and disconnection can feel so strong that we feel isolated and alone. But the truth is that you are not alone and do not have to navigate those issues by yourself. You can free yourself of your issues! You can live the life that you desire!

My ideal client would be a mom or wife, an individual who does not have any coping skills and blames themselves for things that are out of their control, such as anxiety, depression, unstable mood, low self-esteem, lack of confidence, lack of motivation, & no insight in their situation. Their needs would be support, empathy, understanding, and active listening. They have goals to work on themselves, improve communication skills, increase coping skills, and alleviate anxiety and depressive symptoms. The client would want to change and work on themselves to become better and stronger individuals for themselves & their families.

Are you finding that you are more irritable, have trouble concentrating or trouble sleeping? Are you having some difficulty in your interpersonal relationships? Do you have a child who is acting out or having trouble with their performance in school? These are issues that many of us face yet we often do not have the answers or know how to effectively deal with them. Through our eclectic therapeutic approach we will help you to process and identify coping skills to assist you in dealing with various life issues that often hinder us from being our very best.

My ideal clients are women navigating life transitions amidst uncertainties and pressures, filled with excitement yet also significant anxiety. They face fear of the unknown, pressure to succeed, and societal expectations, feeling anxious and inadequate while balancing family, work, and personal life. They seek a supportive environment to express themselves, gain clarity, manage stress, find emotional stability, and build self-confidence. Their goals are to achieve a healthy work-life balance, feel empowered, and navigate transitions to find fulfillment and happiness.

For me, there is no ideal client. To some extent, everyone is on a spectrum of depression and anxiety, and I seek to work with clients who need assistance becoming oriented toward improvement. I have personal and professional experience and understand how difficult it is to find someone patient enough to grow alongside a client through the therapeutic process. I want to work alongside you to help you live a happy, meaningful life with these conditions.

My mission is to provide the highest quality and compassionate behavior health care to our clients, families and people in need through a comprehensive arrangement of services and effective clinical care.

The process of finding a therapist can be daunting, but I believe it is a sign of courage and strength to seek help for lasting personal growth and for stronger relationships. My overall perspective about therapy is to show acceptance, compassion and care to all clients; to build safe, warm, trustworthy, and collaborative therapeutic relationships; to apply evidence-based and culturally-competent therapeutic concepts and skills to address clients’ specific needs; and to build upon client’s strength for change.
