My history is that of helping those with all forms of addiction, anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD, acute traumatization, anger management, personality disorders, reintegration, and phase of life changes. During marriage/couples counseling, the emphasis is on the partnership of the relationship and on individual perspectives. During individual counseling, I follow a person-centered, non-judgmental approach focusing on how our unconscious actions and thoughts may have created problems in our lives.

Sometimes life can be just a little too much. Too much stress from work, social media, pandemic changes, too many people, or expectations you can't seem to live up to. I offer a safe space free of judgment and discrimination, yet full of conscious cultural competence to help you find your way to feeling comfortable in what can seem like an uncomfortable world.

Now offering the Symbis pre-marital assessment. The world is throwing so many things at you and it feels impossible to decide what to tackle first.

You want to be able to relieve this feeling of disconnection and reengage in relationships, yet you wonder if you have the energy to even do it. More than anything, you want to be able to share these thoughts and feelings that you have and be reassured you are not alone in this.

Making the choice to begin therapy is not a sign of weakness; choosing to deal with stressors is actually a sign of incredible strength. Therapy is for everyone. Life is crazy and often hard, and we are not pre-programmed with all the answers. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed and unclear on how to make things better. I know that you and your relationships are worth the time and investment. My areas of specialization include working with couples to communicate more respectfully and authentically and helping adult individuals navigate life transitions.

Does your child, adolescent, or teen exhibit concerning behaviors at home or school? I believe we should strive to look beyond the concerning behaviors exhibited by our children. What if we shift the perspective from viewing the behavior as problematic to seeing the behavior as a form of communication? My goal as a therapist is to translate this form of communication to create a bridge of understanding between caregivers and their children. As an adult, “adulting” is hard. Therapy can be a positive outlet to explore new coping skills and a self-care routine. It can also be a place to process through life stressors or trauma.

Sometimes it’s difficult to know how to act, think or respond that can resolve the issues or lessen tension. Having a neutral, understanding therapist to process and clarify thinking is vital. Working towards seeing the whole picture can help stuck behavior by finding practical, beneficial ways of movement or problem-solving.
