To be human is to feel great joy, as well as have times of pain. Sometimes along the way, we may need support to address and re-balance the difficult and joyful aspects of our daily life. I listen closely to the needs and experiences of each individual and support his or her unique ability to heal. I believe that each of us has the intrinsic capacity to recognize how to grow in a healthy way. My approach to treatment is grounded in the belief that each person possesses innate, inner resources that they can use to heal, grow, and thrive.

Congratulations on a first step towards getting help for yourself or your family. I specialize in Relationships, Complex Trauma, and ADHD across the lifespan. You may be experiencing slipping work/academic performance or relationship conflict related to anxiety, depressed mood and low motivation, cycles of stress and depletion, distractibility, or anger from unresolved trauma. My approach begins with listening. You have feelings to share, a story to tell, or persistent challenge you can’t seem to overcome. I’m here to provide a safe, validating place to process your experience, and some unique ways of exploring your emotional world.

Not sure traditional therapy is for you? Wondering how to let feelings out without getting overwhelmed? How to check that inner voice that's whispering or yelling that you're a fraud, a failure, broken, and all the other harsh things those critical voices like to say? If you wanna try something different in therapy, consider yourself an "out of the box" type of person, creative, sensitive or stoic, I probably have something that will help you! Maybe you're sobercurious, maybe you want to bring your relationship in for a tune up, maybe you're a young person feeling misunderstood and alone. I'm not easily shocked, so bring it on!

I believe in the power of self-awareness. Understanding oneself, why we are the way we are, and having empathy and acceptance for that person is incredibly empowering. Do you still have questions you are hoping to find answers for? Now that you are becoming more curious, are you noticing things in yourself and your relationships that may have gone unnoticed before? Now that you've begun this journey, you're ready for some support in taking these next steps.. I am here to help.

우리는 과거를 돌이킬 수는 없지만 고통스러운 기억에서 자유로울 수는 있습니다. 우리의 뇌는 스스로 치유하는 능력을 가지고 있습니다. We as human beings may encounter overwhelming challenges that can leave us feeling powerless or hopeless. These emotional disturbances and negative thoughts often come from old self-beliefs and deeply rooted emotions from unresolved past experiences that are adverse or even traumatic. We all have the inherent ability to build resilience and embrace challenges for growth and healing. I help my clients reconnect with their resilience, improve insight into their issues, and ultimately find their own path to happiness, hope and a sense of wholeness.

Lately things have been really confusing. You're not spending as much time as you used to with friends and family. Maybe you are feeling lonely, or maybe you prefer being alone right now. Everything just feels like too much. You aren't sleeping well. You are afraid no one will understand what's going through your head. You used to enjoy life but recently something has changed and you're not sure how to get back to your old self. You want to move forward from here, but you don't know where to start.

It is important to have a safe space to express your true feelings and process your experiences in life. Therapy is a perfect space to do that without judgment and at your own pace. There are many different approaches to therapy for each client, and one size does not fit all. I like to use a client-centered approach as I believe in giving the client the agency to feel in control of their therapeutic experience. I use various approaches such as CBT and mindfulness, to create an environment and experience that is individualized and beneficial to the client’s goals and expectations.

Whether it happened quickly or slowly, you find yourself overwhelmed and feeling like you can’t catch up, keep up or measure up! You aren’t sure if your environment needs to change, or you do. Both? You’re taking care of everyone around you and you’ve got nothing left to give. You’ve lost touch with yourself and aren’t sure where to go from here. Transitions keep coming in your life and you want to stop dreading every change. You dream of the day that you’re no longer bogged down by to-do lists and can just take a breath, but the world seems to keep on spinning around you. Let’s change that!
