Using a person-centered, holistic, multicultural, and integrative approach, I begin where you are, and tailor the treatment approach to your needs. This allows me to be sensitive to the manner in which your cultural identities and lifestyle choices impact your experience. I am open-minded and will work with individuals or families, no matter their ultimate decision. For example, I have counseled couples who, after therapy, still choose to separate. I assist with next steps since this can be a messy, challenging time in a family’s life.

I am warm, compassionate, and can be humorous if the situation requires it. Life can be full of twists and turns, which requires flexibility and adaptability. Often these qualities get lost in the crisis and trauma that life can present. I am capable of using metaphors, stories, and allegories to make a point and to get clients to think outside the box.

If you decide to work with me, you will quickly learn that I am also a good listener, who allows you to communicate at your own pace. I look forward to helping you in any way that I can to face and conquer life’s challenges that you may be facing.
