I believe healing happens through relationships. When we can share all parts of ourselves with another and be truly seen. Witnessed. Understood. The messy, the dark, the confusing and the seemingly unlovable. All parts of you are welcome here. You’re invited to bring your whole self to each session where you will be seen, heard, and validated. From a place of openness and curiosity, I provide a warm and affirming space for you to heal and grow. You don’t have to do it alone, I would be honored and humbled to join you.

Currently accepting clients with immediate openings! If there is one common human emotion, it is a feeling that we are doing the best we can. We like to feel we always make our best decisions. The struggle exists when we learn and understand that today’s decisions were informed by the many experiences of many yesterdays. We want today’s actions to provide tomorrow’s happiness, leveraged on yesterday's chaos. I have built a career on understanding that change is scary, but necessary. If you are here, then you have already done the hardest part: getting started.

Whether expected or unexpected, we all go through changes or transitions in life. Have you gone through a major life change recently? Even though you may be planning and excited for this transition, that doesn't mean stress and anxiety necessarily go away. Now let's add a pandemic to the mix! This past year is a perfect example of an unexpected change that highly impacted many areas of our life. I think it's safe to say we have all had moments of panic, fear, or overwhelming anxiety triggered by COVID-19. Do you find that you are still struggling with these feelings?

Do you struggle with feelings of anxiety that impact your day-to-day life, relationships, work, or overall ability to just get things done? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage all of the expectations that they have in their lives. It's overwhelming to look inward and assess the changes that we need to make or the standards that we want to set for ourselves. If you find yourself struggling with worrying thoughts, feelings of anxiety, or multicultural issues, you will benefit from my style of therapy that leads to greater insight, and positive change.

If you are struggling right now, working together with a trained, caring, an objective person can be very helpful. You may not be sure how to choose a therapist you can work with and begin the process of feeling better. That makes sense because it is difficult to open up to a stranger about the challenges in life. You may have tried therapy before, and it did not help, or you did not "click" with the therapist you had chosen. If this sounds familiar to you, you are not alone.

Its a big step to decide to seek out support. All of us struggle with different aspects of our lives and therapy is a way to make sense of these struggles, past and present. My hope is that through this process, you can develop a better understanding of, and relationship with yourself. That may mean developing skills to manage emotions, improve communication or navigate interpersonal issues. That could mean building insight around family dynamics and experiences from the past that still cause pain. Maybe you notice things about yourself that you would like to improve upon. My role is to make space for what is important to you.
