As humans, it is not a matter of ‘if’ we will encounter the less glamorous aspects of life, but ‘when’. Each of us has the innate capacity to work through moments of change and transformation although, at times, that truth may feel impossible, false, or inadequate. As a practicing clinical therapist, my intention is to collaborate with you to support your own inner power to regain control in your life within a nonjudgmental and confidential safe space. In fostering your unique abilities together through exploration, processing, and individualized modalities, it is my goal to empower you to aspire to your full potential. My areas of interest include anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, self-esteem, relationship issues, and anger management/emotional regulation. I have previous experience working with a broad age range of clients as well as immigrant, refugee, and Spanish-speaking populations. Having worked with both individuals and family systems I know that, often, the issues for which we seek support affect (and are affected by) the types of connections we have with others. I carry my experience working with both macro and micro systems into my practice to engage in both top-down and bottom-up pathways for change.
