My main goal as a therapist is to empower each client by working collaboratively to understand your past and rewrite your narrative to create new patterns of behavior that are in line with your authentic self. Together, we will find the formula to heal your inner critic. Working with individuals and couples, I take on an integrative approach to therapy which incorporates a multicultural outlook along with a variety of evidenced-based practices. I specialize in issues such as trauma, anxiety, and relationship issues. You deserve to learn about yourself and grow to the person you are meant to be.

I specialize in working with individuals and couples that are ready to understand how their trauma shows up in their daily life. I utilize interventions that incorporate understanding your inner critic and how to have a healthier relationship with yourself. Additionally, I help clients understand how their attachment style manifests in relationships.

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you are interested and have any questions. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation to discuss my practices, your goals, and to assess next steps. I believe that there is no "perfect" time to start therapy, rather it is all about the willingness to explore parts of yourself in order to grow and heal.
