Description (2950 characters max)
Are you feeling depressed, anxious, struggling with substance or relationship conflict? Sometimes, the very strategies we use to feel safe, to belong, to get approval, and to feel loved – to survive – no longer serve us. When we try to carry these strategies into adulthood, it can lead to high conflict, challenging behaviors, anxiety, depression, and substance use. For couples and families,.
I work from an Emotion Focused Therapy approach exploring clients' reactivity, triggers, and hurts that underlie conflict and helping them find other ways to respond that lead to more trust, intimacy and connectedness.
I help individuals, adolescents, couples, and families have more fulfilling relationships and make choices to live more aligned with their values. My clients struggle with a variety of issues, but many people in my practice are individuals, couples, and families who are struggling with substance use, complex trauma, or high conflict in their relationships.
My approach is warm, direct, and attachment- and trauma-informed. I have a multicultural identity and work from a client centered approach informed by social justice and intersectionality. Finding a therapist with whom you feel comfortable is extremely important . Call for a free consultation to see if I am the right person to support you or your family.
