Many patients struggle with the fact that they seek therapy. However, I applaud your choice to begin the significant process of self exploration and growth.

By validating feelings I help my clients fully accept themselves while encouraging and motivating them to do their best.

I coach women and adolescent girls 16+ who struggle with people pleasing, fixer syndrome, and perfectionism to build emotional wellness skills to tackle unhealthy relationships that trigger anxiety and depression.

I understand the stress of feeling consumed by life and overbearing relationships.

I have provided individual and family therapy using a variety of evidence-based methods.

We, as human beings, have our habitual way to think, feel, and behave which may not always help us cope well. We may feel stuck in the past, fearful for the unknown future, and not being able to be present in the moment. Yet, the present is the only time that we can do something to make a change and feel better. We can stop struggling and begin to practice acceptance and grow through our experiences. In the practice of mindfulness, we are able to observe and become aware of the attachment to our habitual pattern of unhelpful thoughts and be present in the now moment by cultivating a non-judgmental mind and a new beginner's mind.
