I work with a wide range of clients, many of whom share similar challenges—work and organizational stress, health concerns, grief and loss; or are experiencing other difficulties, such as PTSD and other traumas (including compassion fatigue), depression, or anxiety. My approach is person-centered, focusing on you, the client, and the moment-to-moment engagement, discovering insights together. I can help you discover insights into barriers, and the constructive solutions to overcoming those barriers. Each person has the right to live a life free of negative thoughts and experiences—a life of healthy well-being.

It is important for me is to discover what is important to my clients. I help others find what they want in life and get it. It is one thing to live life. It is more to enjoy life. I help individuals, couples, and families to find happiness in all aspects of functioning, including emotional and sexual intimacy.

I have been working in the mental health field for over twenty years. Throughout that time I have worked in a variety of settings, all of which have given me a wealth of experience to draw upon. I have always had a passion for the work of psychotherapy, which I feel is ultimately about inner exploration and transformation. Most people come to psychotherapy because they feel like they are stuck in some way. Having another mind and perspective can help to get things moving where they once were stuck. With a spirit of curiosity and collaboration I work with my patients to seek out what may be obstructing their continued growth.

We don’t always have control over the things that happen to us in life, but we do have control over how we choose to respond to them. When we know ourselves, and family patterns, & have the power to own our own history we are better equipped to meet these challenges & establish healthy patterns. I believe in a person-centered, integrative, strengths-based, bio-psychosocial approach. Regardless of your story, it is your own & as such you are the expert. My role is to help assist you along your journey by helping to facilitate a deeper understanding of who you are while reminding you of the importance of self-compassion & self-care.

My approach to therapy is creating a safe and compassionate space where people feel comfortable sharing their stories. I do this by using narrative therapy along with somatic and internal family systems informed approaches. I’m also trained (level 1) in Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). I have experience providing therapy to people from many walks of life with a passion for serving the BIPOC community who are wanting to focus on healing from the impacts of trauma, PTSD, loss and grief, depression, anxiety, and a sense of low self-esteem.

I believe what people need to be well in life is to feel heard, understood, and accepted for who they are. I provide this to my clients through active and reflective listening, powerful questioning to provoke deeper thinking about one's challenges, and manageable practices to help you understand your own thoughts and beliefs about your challenges. When struggling with challenging issues such as end-of-life, grief, and depression, life can feel heavy and unmanageable. Clarifying one's needs and values can be a good starting point for creating goals to work toward. Having measurable goals provides purpose when things seem hopeless.

My goal as a therapist is to assist clients in living healthy, fulfilling lives. I do this through helping clients identify goals they want to work toward, personal strengths on which they can build, skills they want to develop, and barriers they want to overcome. My work is client-centered and strengths-based, recognizing that change often takes time, hard work, and patience. Thus, I move with clients at their pace, knowing that recovery looks different for everyone and that there isn’t one approach to fit all clients. As a therapist, I strive to create a safe space for clients so they can develop trust and evaluate their life.

I am very interactive with my clients. I incorporate both dydactic work as well as experiential assignments. I use the Brief Therapy model and I believe in "working myself out of job" with clients i.e. short term work, hard-hitting and then people need to move on into the universe using the skills/techniques taught and used in therapy.

I love to work on codepency issues, relationshiop issues & self-care.
