To See Yourself Clearly Is to Access Your Own Gift
Discover Your True Potential & Overcome Your Fears/Obstacles
Integrity is the key to living an authentic and happy life. At Clear Mirror Guidance Center, we work with people who presents with frustration, sadness, dis-ease and despair on all realms of life including work, family, school and other significant relationships. We believe in you being capable of making the best decision possible to navigate through these complicated issues in life when tactfully supported by trained therapists. In order to support you with your goal, we offer safe space and quiet reflective time for you to re-evaluate your current challenges as well as your strengths and skill-sets that will help you overcome the obstacles. Changes can be difficult even if you think they are necessary or unavoidable, and changes can be prompted by others or by that voice from within. Hope is within your reach, and you can manifest the change guided by your dreams and desires. Are you willing to take the first step?
I welcome you to embrace your challenges and work from the power you possess within to create the change that you want to see in your life.

Bio
Years of experience in working with diverse population in various mental health settings lead me to believe, no matter what illness or symptoms we deal with, we all want to belong and to be understood. I provide just such a space for you wherein you could safely explore the past or current issues that prevent you from moving forward. There may be some deep rooted beliefs about yourself or your loved ones that no longer serve your needs. I assist my clients to create that shift that can have an immeasurable effect.
I am the proprietor of Clear Mirror Guidance Center and a psychotherapist grounded in humanistic orientation informed by Developmental Psychology, Attachment Theory, Family System's theory, Adoptive Information Processing theory, and Neuroscience. I take collaborative approach with my clients to form working alliance and assist them to make informed decisions about their treatment. My specialties include working with non-traditional modalities such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) or Clinical Art Therapy to address issues that cannot easily be uncovered or treated through traditional talk therapy. I rely on each client's internal resources and help you regain your confidence.
In addition to assisting my clients to make that "shift" I supervise student trainees in Graduate programs and post-graduate Master-level interns of Marriage and Family Therapy, Art Therapy and Social Work. My staff at the center are licensed eligible clinicians who look forward to working with you.
I enjoy mentoring and co-creating the collaborations in the healing community as well as working side-by-side with my clients.
