Starting the therapeutic process can feel overwhelming & daunting. Finding the right fit takes time and effort, with the possibility of disappointment. With so much uncertainty the process can feel frustrating & hopeless ,but taking the first step to meet with a clinician to have a conversation and get a sense of their personality and clinical style can alleviate the anxiety behind the unknown & endless "what if " questions you may have. Some issues I have been able to help clients with are: relationship problems, anxiety, grief, depression, life transitions, developing healthy coping strategies, & overcoming past trauma(s).

I am a bi-lingual psychotherapist with more than 30 years experience treating adults, children, families and couples suffering from depression, anxiety, relationships issues, parenting, trauma and eating disorders. Are you stuck or blocked, feeling shame, anger, fear, or sadness? Are you disconnected from your inner source of self-esteem, strength and joy? Are your moods driving your actions in your life, instead of your aspirations and goals? Do you find yourself unable to stop addictive, or impulsive behavior patterns? Perhaps it's time to ask yourself how long you can keep doing the same things, expecting different results.

In life we are confronted with many stressors, and challenges that can lead us to feeling overwhelmed, dissatisfied, down, or anxious. Emotions can be hard to manage. That is why I am a firm believer anyone can benefit from therapy! Whether you’re coping with a recent issue, or you’ve been struggling for some time, I’ll work with you to meet your specific needs. I view therapy as a collaborative process that is unique to each person. You should feel safe, heard, and understood in the therapeutic relationship. This allows for you to develop a better understanding of yourself, explore better ways of healing, and learn new skills.
