About

Sometimes life throws challenges our way that seem impossible to overcome. The truth is it is our emotions that overwhelm us, not the problem. Emotions such as anxiety and depression make it difficult to think and problem-solve. When emotions are overwhelming, we struggle to process them and they can get stuck internally leading to psychological, behavioral and physical distress disrupting our focus, work, relationships and self-care. Whether caused by trauma, internal conflicts, grief and loss, transitions in life or parenting challenges, intense emotions are a normal part of human experience. We all need and deserve a safe, supportive and therapeutic space to process these emotions. My goal is to create that space for you and guide you through those intense emotions, processing them to facilitate the unfolding of your body’s natural tendency towards healing. I have 26 years of experience, including doctoral and post-doctoral level training, in helping individuals of all ages and various cultural backgrounds confront their emotions, understand them and develop skills to manage them. Together we will explore and identify the thoughts, beliefs and behaviors that fuel your emotions and cause you to feel out of alignment with your true self. In addition to cognitive behavioral therapy, I use a holistic approach integrating the mind, body and spirit to support lasting change. With my knowledge of evidence based techniques, I will help you harness your inner strengths and direct your energy towards the positive outcomes you seek.
