As a transnational and transracial adoptee with complex backgrounds, I'm passionate about working with the multicultural and multiracial individuals, adoptees and adolescents and adults from diverse racial, ethnic and cultural backgrounds. I have experience working with individuals from marginalized communities experiencing a range of traumas, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, stressors, identity issues, etc. I understand adoptees may face unique difficulties, including interracial family conflict, self-esteem issues, race and cultural identity confusion, and feelings of grief and loss.

Are you having difficulty tuning out everyone else so you can hear your own inner voice? Do you feel exhausted, burnt out, or angry at the end of most days? Does it feel like something is missing from your life, but you're not completely sure what? If so, there is hope. I will walk alongside you on your mental health journey with validation, gentleness and practical suggestions. I believe good therapy includes genuine connection and humor. I will laugh at your jokes (if they're funny), and maybe even make a few (but no guarantees they'll be funny). Typically, I use self-disclosure sparingly and intentionally.

Change is a choice. Asking for help is the first step to making lasting, beneficial life changes. Life happens and can be very difficult and even overwhelming. Counseling can help you navigate those challenging times, no matter the circumstances. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, overcoming abuse, substance abuse or a history of violence, behavioral issues, grief, difficulty adjusting, or just need to learn more healthy and practical coping skills, consider giving counseling a try. If you want to change and are willing to try honestly, that is all it takes.

I began my private practice in June 2004. Prior to that, I had twenty years of experience working with children, adults and families in educational settings as a teacher and a counselor. Early in my education career, I lived and worked in Haiti for three years. This experience continues to help me have a worldview that values and celebrates the unique expressions of life and creativity present in all people. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults. I have day and evening hours available for appointment.

Ever feel like you're stuck? Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed. Maybe your relationships or job have been affected. Or maybe you don't know what's wrong, you just don't feel like yourself. You're not alone! Many people struggle or reach a point where they don't know what to do to feel better. I have a passion for helping others overcome the barriers that prevent them from living life to the fullest. We can work together to identify what you want to change and how to do it.

Finding a therapist is not an easy process but hopefully you'll find it worthy of the effort :) Once you connect to your strengths and needs and learn some healthy ways to cope you'll be able to claim your life back. Whether you are dealing with a new stressor or a lifetime of hurt we will find a way through it together.

NOTE: At this time, I am only offering EMDR Intensives or EMDR for a recent traumatic event. Through my experience working in mental health and addiction treatment, I've adopted a style of therapy that is both direct AND empowering and supportive. My experience allows for me to be flexible in my treatment approach, ensuring that I am providing counseling services that are individualized to meet your needs. My therapy strengths are in treating addictive disorders, PTSD/complex trauma, anxiety disorders, chronic pain, and working with first responders.

I truly believe we all have the strength and power within ourselves to heal from trauma and heartache. Channeling that strength can feel impossible with the complexities of everyday life. It is my duty and passion to assist you in building up supports and resources to help you on your journey to recovery and healthy living. I utilize evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help you conquer mental health issues, addictions, emotional disturbances, sexual health issues, relationship strife, grief and loss, and trauma (past and present).

Healing starts with hope. Whether you are trying to cope with crisis, loss or other stressful life events or you simply want insight into the factors interfering with living a fuller, more satisfying life, therapy can help. As a psychologist, I provide therapy that facilitates change, growth and renewal in a supportive, confidential environment. I have a straightforward, problem-solving style that is accepting and emotionally engaged. My goal is to partner with you to identify core issues and find solutions to the problems that brought you to counseling while building on your strengths to help you overcome challenges.
