My style of therapy is warm, attentive, & engaged. I believe we all need to be heard, understood & truly seen for who we are; for this is where a sense of self-trust can deepen & self-esteem can strengthen. One of my goals is to help you feel less burdened & less alone in your struggles and also provide coping strategies when you are feeling overwhelmed. I honor the uniqueness of each individual & work in a way that meets your current needs (whether you are moving through a crisis situation, having relationship issues, needing help managing anxiety & depression, or healing from trauma). View 3 Photos I am particularly skilled at helping people who are in transitional points in life and seeking to develop healthier self-esteem, relate better to others, and have more confidence in their life path and purpose. I have advanced training as a couples therapist & particularly enjoy working with interracial/cultural couples. I have been a psychotherapist for fifteen years and continue to refine my skills through advanced trainings & consultations with senior clinicians.
