Licensed Associate Counselor
As a therapist, I believe most of our fundamental struggles relate to patterns in our relationships, within ourselves, and societal pressures that we can’t easily see or understand. I collaborate with my clients to help them use their curiosity, talents, and strengths to resolve distress and achieve understanding and relief. My focus is on facilitating deep connections and opening spaces in which my clients feel comfortable talking about parts of their lives that are stressful, frustrating, and even painful. I listen carefully and respectfully and try to help my clients learn to listen to themselves in new ways, understand themselves more fully, and find new solutions to old conflicts and problems. I help clients achieve a better sense of meaning in their lives and satisfaction in their relationships so that anxiety, depression, shame and guilt ease away.
I consider myself a generalist and work with a wide variety of issues including anxiety,
depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, fears of abandonment, career challenges and related concerns. I am a culturally informed therapist and prefer to work with primarily with adults, adolescents, and couples.
