I practice from a non-pathologizing perspective and fuse my clients’ context, experiences, core values and goals with a solution-focused lens to encourage my clients to understand unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. I share what I am observing authentically with direct communication and work to help my clients express and integrate new perspectives and emotions in a healthy way in order to reach their goals. I value and integrate aspects of most theoretical modalities, but work mostly from a solution-focused perspective while also emphasizing and exploring emotions.

Are you hoping to better communicate, manage conflict and revamp your connection with your partner? Or are you in the midst of a major life transition? My clients struggle like you. Despite their brilliance, creativity and drive, the pressures of adapting to life's changes or communicating with their partner seem overwhelming. Before my clients came to see me, they figured that it was “too late” to make a change, and their life “is what it is.” They feared that if they took any drastic steps to improve their lives, it would be considered “selfish.” The fear of change, but also the fear of never changing created tension and anxiety.

My work is influenced by the thought of existentialist philosophers and psychologists who speak compassionately to a profound and uniquely human dilemma—the quest for meaning in the face of suffering. Psychotherapy provides a safe and intimate space in which we might expand our capacity to bear suffering and to find meaning within and through it. Depth psychology proposes that the psyche consists of both conscious and unconscious thoughts, impulses, fantasies, and ideas. Symptoms (of depression, anxiety, addictions, etc.) are more than painful indicators of psychopathology.

Change does not happen overnight. It is a process that happens by taking small steps towards a goal everyday. My goal is to help individual's & families to become stronger & have a healthier outlook on the future/present, so they can develop accepting & loving relationship with themselves & others without judgement. This is done by improving communication, learning & understanding an individual’s past, beliefs or culture can affect one’s behavior, views & emotions, building up self worth, being validated when family members address issues from the past or present.

My approach is based in relational connection and authenticity. I believe that each client is unique, so I am creative and individualized in my work to prioritize your safety, insight, and overall growth. I firmly believe that pursuing therapy does not mean something is “broken”; instead, therapy is an opportunity to seek clarity, support, and a space to put the things that you no longer wish to hold on your own. If you are seeking empowerment, investing in your ability to self-advocate, and motivated to explore the origin of unhealthy patterns and experiences, I may be a good fit for you.
