Establishing a positive therapist-client relationship is crucial to the success of psychotherapy. Creating an environment where you feel safe to discuss any concern is a primary goal of my therapeutic approach. I treat each client with respect, cultural sensitivity, and a strong sense of professional ethics. I see my role as both a collaborator and teacher. I like to actively work with you as we explore your unique concerns, struggles, and strengths. I use my expertise to highlight key patterns in your life that may be keeping you stuck, and to present alternative perspectives and strategies to help achieve your goals.I provide psychotherapy to adults struggling with depression, relationship difficulties, poor body image, low self-esteem, stress, grief, loss and life transitions. My specialties include sexual assault, domestic violence, and gender and cultural concerns. I also work with couples seeking to improve their communication and relationship satisfaction.
