Restoring Equilibrium. Building Resilience. Finding Wholeness.
Life has a way of throwing us off balance. Whether you are navigating complex family dynamics, healing from emotional wounds, or feeling stuck in your personal or professional life, you don’t have to walk that path alone.<br />With over 25 years of experience, I provide a compassionate, culturally sensitive space where we can explore your story together. I believe that you are the expert of your own life. My role is to partner with you to understand what has derailed your sense of peace and help you return to a state of equilibrium.
My Philosophy: Perspective for the Long Term
In the heat of a crisis, it is easy to feel that our current struggle is permanent. I often caution my clients: don’t make permanent decisions based on temporary situations. When we look at the full extent of our lives, most of what we experience is transient. Therapy is the process of gaining that perspective, uncovering patterns, and moving toward wholeness.
Areas of Expertise
I work with individuals, couples, and families (including children and adolescents) on a wide range of issues, including:
- Anxiety, Stress, and Panic Attacks
- Depression and Grief
- Parenting Burnout and Family Dynamics
- Psychological Abuse, Trauma, and Harassment/Bullying
- Anger Management
