I am an empathetic, supportive, and solution-focused clinician dedicated in helping my clients to experience psychological growth, gain greater intimacy in relationships, and live more fulfilling lives. I am direct and transparent and believe it helps to have a sense of humor as we navigate difficult periods in our life. I believe in creating a safe space where individuals can feel comfortable exploring and expressing their true feelings in order to achieve adaptive behavior change. I recognize the importance of being culturally aware and ensure that I respect the diversity of individuals, couples and families. I take great care to respect the values and cultural perspectives of those I work with. I view you and your concerns within a systemic lens to explore and identify how various contextual and cultural influences impact your world view and patterns.
As a therapist with many years of experience, I have had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of clients. They include teens, adults, couples and families who are dealing with issues such as depression, anxiety, grief/loss, family/marital conflict, low self-esteem, stress, divorce
