New clients continue care with this provider
You deserve to live your life to its fullest potential. With this in mind, I have dedicated over 20 years to working with individuals through collaborative, relational, solution focused, culturally-informed psychotherapy. My areas of focus are rooted in healing the effects of complex childhood family dynamics, addressing lifestyle factors that contribute to anxiety and contemporary stressors. My study and practice also include work with neurodivergence, giftedness and the management of ADHD. Additionally, throughout my career, I have developed and facilitated clinical workshops that address a range of issues, including: Mind/Body Stress Reduction, Lifestyle Balance, Cognitive-Behavioral Strategies, Time Management, and more—each designed to engage and resonate with those who seek depth and complexity in their personal growth.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During our initial session, I hope to get to know you better--what you are looking for in a therapist, your goals for therapy and your background. I strive to create a safe space where you can begin to feel hopeful about the changes that you wish to incorporate into your life.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I would say that my greatest strength is in the ability to see and to bring out greater potential in my clients. My style is relational and yet straight forward. Collaboration is key. I believe that most of the change happens between the sessions, where the individual begins to change the way they see themselves and the way they interact with their lives and their relationships.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I am dedicated to serving the BIPOC population, multicultural and international people. I also have had great rapport with people who have complex childhood or family trauma as part of their experience. My study tends towards the treatment of anxiety spectrum disorders, gifted individuals, victims of narcissistic abuse, and individuals who struggle with ADHD. If you need 1:1 micro-coaching, you may want to look for a coach. My approach is more varied and embedded. In terms of age range, I excel within the ages of 21-60.

Mind-body approach
When it comes to reducing anxiety, distress and burnout, the mind/body approaches can be quite effective. Throughout the past 20+ years I have run workshops as well have been integrating this approach into my sessions.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS can be helpful in getting to know and learning how to manage parts of yourself that may be overwhelming. This modality can be quite fun and playful as a therapeutic approach. I have been incorporating this approach for over ten years and have found it effective with anxiety, trauma and depression.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
My educational background is in cultural psychology. I am dedicated to serving multicultural and international populations, who make up a large portion of my caseload.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT has been shown to be effective with anxiety, worry, depression and ruminating thoughts. Together we can work through ways in which your thoughts, feelings and behaviors can be transformed so that you feel more empowered within you mind and your life.
Psychodynamic
Psychodynamic approaches can be life altering. It can be transformative, exploring ones past and how it influences relationships within the self and with others. I have been integrating this approach for over 20 years--especially as it relates to family trauma. Additionally, I utilize a relational approach which emphasizes growth through the therapeutic relationship.
