I believe in honoring each individual as the expert of their own life, meeting them without judgment or preconceptions. Counseling, for me, is not about labeling problems but about discovering solutions and effective coping strategies. I work with individuals of all ages, including children, teenagers, adults, couples, and families, who are facing a wide range of challenges, with a particular passion for geriatric mental health. Embarking on therapy is a courageous and potentially life-changing decision, and I am dedicated to supporting you every step of the way.

My approach is solution focused. I am not primarily concerned with how or why your present challenge developed but will focus instead on helping you to find a way forward. I hope to elicit and reinforce your positive attributes and competencies and help you to access your inner strength. Your ability to change or improve your situation depends on your desire to do so and my job is to awaken that desire within you. The biggest challenge all of us face is negative thinking. This is a reflection of our own disappointment of what we see when we look inside ourselves. By improving our self-image through accentuating our positive qualities we begin to see the world in a more positive light. A sure way of feeling better about ourselves is to find something good in every other human being.

I specialize in serving individuals who are eager to gain insight, set meaningful goals, and work towards achieving them using evidence-based strategies. My approach is rooted in compassion, empathy, and a commitment to helping clients navigate life's challenges with resilience and clarity. I guide clients through their personal journeys with cultural humility and a deep understanding of the intricate interplay between mind and body. My therapeutic style may resonate with individuals seeking growth and transformation. It draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MCBT), and an array of techniques grounded in neuroscience and mind-body integration. At the heart of my practice lies a profound respect for cultural diversity and an unwavering dedication to understanding each client's unique cultural context. This commitment is woven into my therapeutic framework, fostering an environment where clients feel heard, understood, and validated regardless of their background. I embody a "learner's mind," continuously seeking the latest neuroscience and mind-body integration advancements to enhance my therapeutic offerings. Drawing from this knowledge, I integrate cutting-edge techniques that bridge the gap between psychological processes and physiological experiences, empowering clients to harness the innate connection between mind and body for increased self-awareness, equanimity, intentional living, and holistic healing.

I'm here to help clients heal from their trauma. Tired of using trauma responses and skills that are no longer working? Or you are not sure what is a trauma response? Feeling so angry, numb, just don't want to think, feel or remember anything. The blank just isn't working anymore. The blank didn't work. Wondering if any or all of it was your fault. The answer is, it is not your fault. Learning to love yourself is hard for trauma survivors. I get that. Trauma healing is at your pace. Don't ever have to share what you do not want to. Nondisclosure is normal. One day you will know and feel that you are enough.

Congratulations for taking the step to seek counseling. The world we live in is increasingly complex, and we can find ourselves feeling disconnected, stressed, and uncertain about what direction to take. How do we identify solutions for our life’s challenges? How do we let go of stress and sleep at night? As a therapist, I have counseled with individuals and families for over ten years and have found that problem-solving does not have to be stressful, and that we can work through our toughest issues. It is common to believe that people in our relationships, or circumstances in our lives cause us to feel the way we do. But it is our thinking, and the way we relate to people and circumstances, that create our feelings and emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps us observe what we are feeling and identify the thoughts that create our feelings. With increased self-awareness, we determine which of our thoughts and perceptions are distorted and unhelpful. As our thinking becomes more realistic, we feel better. There are several therapy methods that are effective in creating positive change, including Narrative Therapy, Goal Setting, Visioning for Personal Growth, and Mindfulness to promote focus and attention. Let’s engage in a conversation to explore your individual needs, and how best to meet them.
