About My Clients

Are you always filled with anxiety, fright, or angst about what will happen next. Are you constantly feeling a shortness of breath or that the walls will close in on you? You do not have to suffer in silence anymore, you have the knowledge within you to talk back your life and I can assist you with utilizing those skills everyday.

My Background and Approach

I utilize a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic therapy in my approaches. I utilize motivational interviewing and strength based assessments to help clients achieve maximum benefit from therapy. We will work collaboratively in helping to address your anxiety attacks, high stress from relationships or job pressures. We will address what is going on in our brain and help you to get some relief and learn how to calm down quickly and redirect your negative thoughts into positivity.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am not only a therapist but I have also been a client. I know what it's like to be uncertain, to not be able to have control of a situation. Through therapy I have learned how to handle my anxiety, stress, and crisis situations. We can all unlearn maladaptive behaviors and replace them with healthy ones. With all this uncertainty going around in the world with COVID, war, rising inflation, racial injustice, people need a safe place to discuss what they are feeling. The height of racial injustice in American Society at this time has made many people angry. The Capital Riots last year and height of racial violence against Jews, and Asians. #Saymyname is the hashtag for the last 4 years. George Floyd, Sandra Bland, Ahmaud Aubrey, Breonna Taylor. #StopAsianhate arose due to COVID. We have to manage our anger in ways that are healthy and will not further hurt us or society.
