I work with clients in their 20s and 30s during emerging adulthood. This is a period of rapid growth and change in regards to family, education, career, relationships, and identity. I work well with clients who are seeking insight and confidence in their own sense of self, and are working towards a life that is fulfilling. I approach therapy relationally and draw from several theoretical frameworks including psychodynamic and person-centered theories, also incorporating ideas from CBT and DBT in my work.

My clients want to improve mood, self-esteem, relationships, sleeping habits, etc., and come to realize that something happens within the client/therapist relationship that does not happen alone. My typical client shows improvement within a few months, and then eventually meets with me less frequently (for 'tune-ups'). And, my clients sometimes return to sessions with me after leaving therapy, if things begin to go awry.

Sometimes life does not seem to go how you would like it to. It may feel like everything is building up and you may explode into tears. Perhaps it seems as though the more you have going on the more you feel like not doing anything at all and when you aren’t doing anything you still feel like you should be doing something. Sometimes we find ourselves being overworked and underappreciated not only by other people around us but within ourselves as well.

As a therapist, I believe in a holistic approach to treatment that not only focuses on the psychological, but also on the physical, socio-economic, religious, and spiritual factors in one’s life. I have experience working with pediatric, adult, and geriatric clients from various ethnic and cultural backgrounds. My clients often seek guidance in managing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relationship conflicts. By setting both short and long-term goals, we work together to not only address these issues, but to improve your overall quality of life.
