I strive to provide a safe and confidential space in which my clients can explore habitual beliefs and behaviors that have been causing personal distress and/or relational problems. I attempt to help them find ways of re-directing their energy towards more effective and satisfying ways of being and interacting. The goal of therapy as I see it for people to develop an understanding of themselves, both alone and in the world, which will enable them to act reasonably and confidently in a way that honors their goals and personal values.

It is in the depths of our psyche where fear and longing reside. We use tricks and masks to defend against knowing ourselves and yet yearn to be known, long to be recognized. The journey to discovery consists not only in what we say about ourselves but how we are listened to. It is in this unique place of psychoanalysis where the known and unknown, the conscious and the unconscious meet. Once we start to listen to the stories we tell about ourselves, and are heard, the mind is opened to a more expansive self and healing can begin.

Anxiety looks different in every child, but no matter what form it takes, it can be excruciating for both the child and the parent. Whether your child withdraws to their room and won’t talk, gets angry and refuses to make an effort, works three times as hard as any other child and still feels inadequate, or seems to need you so much they can’t function on their own, knowing how to help is so hard. The good news is that no matter what anxiety looks like on the surface, there are evidence-based treatments that can really help.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

Clients come to me for current concerns, acute circumstances or to resolve issues related to longstanding challenges. "Integrative Psychiatry" involves a dynamic partnership with a focus on each client's individual needs, meaningful collaboration, a holistic/preventive perspective, therapy and the option for medication management. We all have unique goals, styles of learning and timelines for care and recovery. As a practitioner I value my clients' current situation and offer brief psychotherapy as well as ongoing therapy with or without pharmacological treatments.
