Beneath all of our disappointments, losses, and heartbreaks, we all want to be valued for who we are, accepted for how we feel, and respected for what we think. I will encourage you to cultivate present moment awareness and self-compassion for the painful difficulties, challenging life circumstances, and to the inner narrative that keeps you stuck in habitual patterns of reacting. While fear and doubt may obscure your perspective, we will work together to help you develop strength-based skills and capacities for moving through challenges. I will help you access your inner wisdom for cultivating trust, balance, clarity, & connection. I use a mindfulness-based approach that helps you develop skills and tools to loosen the grip of overwhelming thoughts and worry about the future and soothe feelings of regret and sorrow from the past. Learning to live in present moment awareness empowers you to embrace all of your life in each unfolding moment with greater acceptance, aliveness, and peace. My training in Mind-Body Medicine, IFS, CBT, Positive Psychology, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, meditation and yoga therapy and work in private practice, clinics, schools, psychiatric wards has provided me with a diverse set of clinical skills that relieve symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, attentional challenges, grief, and relationship issues.

If you are dealing with mental health such as anxiety or depression, PTSD/Trauma, or even a behavioral issue with your child and you would like help in forging forward. You don't have to struggle on your own. Feeling like you have to deal with these difficulties alone is a misconception. If your goal is to find understanding of what is going on with yourself or your child and find balance and acceptance through learning and practice of new skills or being able to proccess through the issues I can help you through. My grandma taught me that F.A.I.L doesn't mean failure. F.A.I.L just means First Attempt In Learning. I speacialize in taking a value based approach. With this in most cases we work together to find your values and what will lead you on the path to those values. With trauma it is different and I understand that it takes time to proccess and work through it. At the end of the day, my therapeutic approach is geared to meet your specific needs. I am fluent in ACT, CBT, and person centered. Please contact me to see if I am the right fit for you to assist in your journey to the next chapter of your life.

Feeling like there is just too much to process? I help clients develop healthy self-compassion as they balance responsibilities and relationships with the cumulative stress of unresolved traumas and/or the current economic/political/environmental crises. When we explore patterns in our boundaries, families, and relationships, we can reveal deeper truths and unmet needs, and are empowered to make changes that promote safety and reduce the feeling of being stuck. It is important that you feel heard by a professional who supports you. Third Culture Kids, nomads, fish out of water, and micro-minorities welcome. We will create context. I work collaboratively to address shame and suffering resulting from abuse, neglect, erasure, and power imbalances, including invisible/marginalized identities, moral injury and existential dread. I have worked extensively with individuals and relationship systems whose stories hold trauma. I support many who once thought they were “too weird” for therapy. Relief is important to me. It’s likely you have already spent a lot of energy coping with the mental and/or physical manifestations of your suffering. Allow me to join you so that we can continue and build something sustainable together. You do not deserve to feel out of place in your own life. Call me for a free consultation and let’s do this work together.

Adoptees are often a silent population due to challenges surrounding the issue of trust. Needs for this population may include difficulties connecting with others, difficulty with self esteem & making decisions to appease others rather than for themselves. Goals are often directly linked to these issues. How do I know? I have both lived experiences as a former foster child & adoptee who then used those experiences to launch me into the field of psychotherapy where I accrued over 20 years of experience. Learning to trust & knowing who we are as adoptees is an important part of the healing work we will do together. I offer individual, family & couples Adoptee Counseling sessions to adoptees & their adoptive families who are ready to begin addressing the needs which often accompany the role of being an adoptee. Acceptance, connection & trust are some of the issues which we can explore together in our online confidential sessions. I understand how challenging it can be for adoptees to reach out to others as a result of trust issues & the ability to acknowledge their own emotional needs. If you're an adoptee or an adoptive family member, are over the age of 16 and ready to begin this important work of self care & self identity, I'm here to walk along side you on your journey.

Raising healthy and happy children with ADHD can be a big job, but the good news is that you do not have to do it alone. There is a lot that can be done to help! ADHD is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that impacts each child differently. ADHD has little to do with how "smart" your child might be, but it has a lot to do with your child's ability to regulate their attention, mood, and behaviors. When symptoms of ADHD lead to lower self-esteem, mental health concerns, behavioral challenges, or academic struggles, it is a good time to seek professional help. I am an Art Therapist and a Licensed Mental Health Professional with a passion for helping children with ADHD reach their fullest potential. I offer child-based services that focus on building self-esteem, teaching skills, and re-igniting a passion for learning. I also offer parent-based services that offer guidance, education, support, and training. Children with ADHD can have an excellent quality of life, but they often need extra support along the way. If you are looking for fun, compassionate, and effective strategies to help your child and your family, please give me a call. Our services can be used as the first line of treatment for ADHD or in partnership with your child's medication.
