I believe in our ability to heal ourselves. I provide a warm, safe, accepting space to explore issues and to promote your growth and healing. I see our relationship as collaborative and I seek to empower you to make new choices for yourself. The greatest power we can have is the ability to respond differently to situations rather than automatically react in our old, familiar patterns. These patterns of behavior/feelings/beliefs once served us and helped us to survive but are no longer working.

There are cutting-edge, effective, mind/body approaches such as EMDR and EFT that help us to release those negative patterns and access our resources and strengths. They can free us from stuck places and allow us to focus on positive feelings and beliefs about ourselves. It is possible to no longer be run by triggers from the past that make you feel anxious, depressed, angry or believe you are not good enough, unlovable, unsafe, not in control. I am very excited about the potential of these tools to make a difference in your life. You can heal and make new choices!

I have been counseling clients from diverse backgrounds with a wide range of issues for 19+ years. I am especially good at helping with anxiety, depression, trauma/abuse, self-esteem/empowerment, relationships, difficulty adjusting to life changes, stress management, grief/loss, and women's issues. I have expertise in working with pregnancy and postpartum issues in particular. Please contact me to see how I can be of help.

Therapist

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally stuck can make even everyday life feel heavy. Whether you’re navigating stress, past trauma, or major life changes, therapy can offer a space to slow down, gain clarity, and start feeling more like yourself again. I work with children, adolescents, and adults from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds and have extensive experience supporting individuals and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I strive to provide culturally responsive, compassionate care that honors each client’s lived experience and strengths.
