Whether you are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, frustrated with your relationship or just in need of a change, I can help. I am committed to building meaningful therapeutic relationships & helping you learn how to make better choices in your life to increase fulfillment & achieve your goals. When problems arise, we often fall into familiar patterns of reacting & coping that may have served us previously, but presently are holding us back. My goal is to provide you with tools & techniques to choose thoughts & behaviors that eliminate suffering. This often involves learning to move towards discomfort and growing from its acceptance.
My multicultural background has given me a sensitivity & awareness about the issues such people face. With an extensive background in music and dance I also enjoy infusing creative expressions into my work with clients.
My areas of specialization include: * Multicultural couples & families * Relationship issues * Trauma/abuse* Mindfulness
