Difficulties with intimacy are prevalent. People are pessimistic and frightened of marriage. Levels of anxiety, depression, and "pushing away" defense mechanisms are increasing and we tend to seek the emotionally familiar. We fall in love based on our earliest experiences with bonding, or lack of it. Thus, if these feelings are based upon aberrations of bonding, we are constantly drawn to those who cannot bond & connect. If you continually repeat the same mistakes in your life you may be emotionally "stuck" due to these early feelings.

Every person has had difficult moments in their life. This is one of the things that bonds us as human beings. We all have things in common, such as feeling the same emotions, dealing with similar situations, or having similar ways of thinking. Though we share these commonalities, each person has their own experiences that are unique to them. This is the perspective I take when it comes to my therapy practice. Each client brings their own unique set of needs and experiences, which needs a unique and individualistic therapy approach, different from the next client.

Therapy is a gift. It is an opportunity to be seen, heard, understood, and supported in ways that you might not be. As a person-centered therapist, I don’t find success in doing something for the client, but rather in being someone for the client. Being a multicultural counselor, I understand the importance of viewing someone as a whole individual, as opposed to what is presented symptomatically. Through an integrative analytic and cognitive-behavioral approach, I empower clients to gain insight and overcome life’s stressors and hardships. Healing is a journey, let’s go through it together.
