You excel in one or more areas of your life, yet you silently struggle with feelings of being unworthy and unlovable. Sometimes you may even feel like an outsider in your own life. Maybe you buy nice things, or go on amazing trips, but for some reason you still don’t feel happy. You may hide behind your work and push people away because you are afraid to let them know who you really are. This is not what you want to be doing but you can’t help it. This is not your fault. You are doing the best you can with the resources you were given. At The Empowerment Opportunity, we will help you tap into different resources within yourself.

Have you been feeling worried, overwhelmed, or stuck lately? Do you tend to keep your struggles to yourself because no one really understands? Too often we isolate instead of reaching out when things get tough, but you don’t have to go through it alone. My approach is integrative and rooted in authenticity, trust, and empathy. I specialize in working with young adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, have trouble managing their ADHD, are going through a life transition, or simply want a non-judgemental safe space to explore their feelings and better understand themselves.

If you are dealing with a loss in your life, you may be feeling: anxious, depressed, angry, sad, alone, or guilty. These feelings are natural, but they can make it difficult for you to function in your daily life. You may feel that no one understands. Sometimes those closest to you may want you to feel better sooner than you are ready. At other times, people will say the absolute wrong thing which only makes you feel worse. I understand what you are going through. I offer a safe and compassionate place for you to express yourself and begin to process your grief. You will not need to edit yourself or worry about me.

You try so hard to always do the right thing. Take people’s advice, follow orders, and not rock the boat. But no matter how hard you try, you still feel like you’re failing. Everyone seems to have it all figured out except you. And you’re somehow separated from them by an indefinable quality. You simply don’t fit in with the crowd, and you suspect your racial and cultural background has something to do with it. People treat you differently, and you just go along because you don’t want to make waves. But every day you feel more inauthentic, inadequate, and isolated. You wish there were some other way to live, but you don’t know how.

I am an alternative-lifestyle-affirming clinical psychotherapist, who strongly believes in the power of collaboration, affirmation, and supportive exploration, to help the people I work with achieve their goals.

My goal is to help you explore, understand, integrate, and feel safe as you discover your most authentic self. Once we learn to understand the driving processes behind our thoughts, behaviors, and patterns, we are better able to envision a path forward.

In a world inundated with superficial ideals and societal pressures, life often presents us with challenges that can obscure our path to self-discovery and fulfillment. My clients often find themselves toiling with conflicts around relationships, as well as a lack of personal identity that leaves them feeling anxious, depressive, or purposeless; they find themselves stuck, stagnant, and unsure of how to pluck themselves out of despair. By delving into the messiness of the human condition and cultivating the desire to understand yourself, you can begin to create space between the things that rule you.

I work with children, adolescents and young adults with a wide range of issues. I utilize a cognitive behavioral approach to assist clients in recognizing and adapting thought patterns to facilitate change and for younger clients, I incorporate play-based approaches. I create a warm, trusting environment for clients to feel both supported and challenged in sessions. My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, trauma, and ADHD.
