My ideal client is willing to explore their emotions and experiences in a supportive environment. They might be dealing with anxiety, depression, self-esteem problems, or the aftermath of trauma. These clients need a safe space to express themselves, receive active listening, and develop effective coping strategies. For those who have experienced trauma, my approach is tailored to their unique needs. I prioritize creating a trusting relationship where clients feel secure enough to share their experiences. Using TFCBT interventions, I help them process and integrate their experiences to reduce distress and promote healing.

Is your mind spinning with worries and endless "to-do" lists? Are you critical of yourself and never quite feel good enough? If you have lost touch with who you really are or what you really want out of life, counseling can help you find yourself. If you are someone who usually takes care of everyone else, let me help you start taking care of yourself as well. My clients are regular, everyday women, couples and families who struggle with life's overwhelming issues: anxiety, depression, relationship issues, low self esteem, perfectionism, difficulty being assertive, past trauma, insecurities, people pleasing and life transitions.

I am a strong proponent of health-oriented and positive psychology that emphasizes what is right with people rather than what is wrong with them. My counseling work is based on the integrative approach to psychotherapy that is best characterized as going beyond and across the confines of any single orientation. I draw from different theories to form a comprehensive view of all the complexities of human conditions and emotions. The reason for this is because no one theory has all the answers that could effectively work with every individual and situation.

My approach to healing is based upon a non-invasive experience rather than prolonged processes, which incorporates EMDR, Guided Imagery, and traditional psychotherapy. Each session provides an atmosphere for nurturing, heart-opening, and confidentiality that will help you successfully achieve your goals in less time than talk therapy. The outcome of this success will help you feel less anxious, sad, fearful, stuck and/or enhance your confidence, ability to perform, love openly, commit when you want/let go when you want, be fully present and connected in whatever you do.

The most valuable and essential piece in therapy is the connection between the therapist and the client. Without rapport and safety, no meaningful step can be taken towards recovery. In my practice, through loving kindness and empathy, I make it my priority to build a meaningful connection with clients.

You really do not have to face all the challenges alone. You especially don't have to feel trapped by stress, trauma, depressed mood or anxiety. There is a way through and out, so long as you are willing to try.

You may also feel anxiety present itself as uncomfortable sensations in your body. You, however, have already made the most courageous step which is to look for a solution.
