My approach draws on psychoanalytic thinking, which revolves on one central idea: much of what we think and feel remains outside of our awareness. Sometimes we keep powerful feelings hidden so we can continue moving through the day, or we simply cannot find time to reflect on everything that is happening to us. In any case, keeping these potent experiences hidden may leave us feeling stiff, dreary, unfulfilled, or even numb and dull.

Having been a licensed therapist for over 12 years, I have helped many different types of clients navigate issues such as anxiety, depression, adjusting to a new career or family dynamic, trauma, grief and loss, and issues with their family. I applaud you for seeking guidance and I look forward to helping you. I am several different ethnicities and have worked with many different populations including couples; families; teenagers (sometimes in conjunction with schools to help students change their dynamics at school and garner the help of administrators and teachers, as I am a former teacher); children, elderly clients; clients who have been discriminated against; clients who have been bullied, and clients who are navigating career changes as well as medical issues.

I choose to practice trauma-informed care because intention and corrective experiences are important aspects of healing. As a therapist, I enjoy providing services for children, teens and adults of all ages, through individual, couples and family therapy. Recognizing each person and every family has its own unique makeup and needs, I utilize strengths-based approaches to help foster improved relationships and learn new ways of working together towards goals.
