Therapy becomes a collaborative experience where we navigate life's complexities. I understand the importance of attachment and culture in each person's life and bring these unique elements in to the sessions. Therapy is a part...

Change is challenging and we find ways to cope and move through. Exploring sexual identity, and attitudes is assisted by supportive acceptance an...

Each of us go through times of anxiety, sadness, grief and loss, stress, and life transitions. These concerns cause hindrances in small and/or big ways. Sometimes it can be managed by oneself.

Going through these concerns by yourself or with certain others seems almost impossible, and a sense of being overwhelmed and feeling alone ...

As a provider specializing in young adults, I know this is a very busy and exciting time, but it also can be stressful, confusing, and lonely.
