Do you feel overwhelmed and consumed by stressful life situations? I just may be your answer to relieving some of the emotional stress experienced as I specialize in providing individual therapy. Everyone has the right to feel emotionally healthy and live stress free. I believe this begins with giving yourself permission to address those emotions/behaviors that are disrupting your life. For some of my patients their treatment includes resolving issues from their past and moving forward. My style with patients is always collaborative, interactive and motivating. I use empathic and deep listening to HEAR my patients.


I use therapeutic approaches that are appropriate for each individual situation. I’m a culturally competent therapist who is passionate about helping you understand yourself, experiences, relationships and the world you live in. My therapeutic approach includes a combination of insight-oriented psychotherapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Of most importance to, me is working with you to achieve your goals through counseling session. I strive to meet you “where you are” and move you forward to heal, change and grow in positive ways. I provide counseling on a wide range of issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, educational concerns, work and life balance.
