I work with adults who want to improve their quality of life and find a greater sense of personal well-being. Common issues individuals address in therapy are depression, anxiety, work stress, relationship stress, and past trauma. I work with you to set goals, and then assist you in taking measurable and concrete actions to attain those goals. 

Clients I work with report increased self-awareness, feelings of empowerment, and confidence as a result of our work together.  

Common difficulties that clients address in therapy:

I’m the only person of color on my team at work, and one of few in my company. It’s tiring to be the “representative” of my race at work, instead of being seen as an individual. I put on a mask and can’t truly be myself – I know this impacts my work, my relationships and my happiness.

So many people sacrificed for me to be here – I feel a lot of pressure. Unlike many of my peers, I don’t have a safety net if I don’t succeed. I work myself to the bone, and meanwhile other parts of my life are falling by the wayside. I know this isn't sustainable, but I don't know how to make a change.

Though some areas of my life are going well, I'm starting to panic that I haven't yet found my partner, especially as I see others around me settling down. I'm dating but somehow things just don't seem to move forward. I'm starting to worry that there's something wrong with me.

I struggle with my manager trusting me, and I don’t know if it’s because of my race, my gender, or just me. I’m always second guessing – wondering, is it me or is it him? I know I would perform better if I felt like I had his trust. It’s a vicious cycle and I don’t know how to break it.

I come from less money than my peers. Even though I’m making a good income, I have obligations that others don’t seem to have – sending money home to family and paying off my debt. I have to act like I’m part of the culture, but I feel so different from my peers.

I can’t stop watching the news and reading political articles. My emotions are on a constant roller coaster. I want to stay involved and engaged, but right now I just feel depressed, anxious, and scared.
