Are you experiencing the loss of someone or a relationship near you? Are you experiencing anger, sadness, or pain? Maybe you are asking yourself how or why this happened. Or you may even be experiencing guilt or regret. I can help to support and guide you through this difficult time.

Depression sometimes may feel like a mud pile, that we struggle to escape from. You may be experiencing sadness, loss of appetite, hopelessness, or loss of interest in activities or social interactions. You may struggle to find the motivation to change but you know you can benefit from a little transformation. I can help you to start that today.

You may experience anxiety sometimes due to stress or specific situations, or sometimes out of nowhere. You may feel confused or scared, you may be asking why this is happening. Our anxiety, as one of our emotions, often makes us worried because we do not understand why it is happening and what it is trying to do. I can help you understand, decrease its intensity, and gain back your control.

I am trained in many different therapy approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, solution-focused therapy, Bowen’s theory, Gottman Method, CBT, and more. I believe that depending on your needs, I need to tailor my treatment orientation to best serve your treatment goals. Integrative therapy allows me to bring in different tools and skills from other therapy modalities to do so.

We each came from our own unique cultural and societal backgrounds as well as family of origin, we cannot deny their impact on us through our lives. Understanding where we came from and how it affects us can be extremely helpful in resolving our current problems and preventing the same issues from continuing to occur through generations after us.

I am trained by Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing International Association Home (EMDRIA) approved EMDR training program in the United States. EMDR therapy is an evidence-based therapy that shown significant results in helping people with past trauma, high-intensity emotions, problem-solving unresolved issues, and many other situations.

Factors of everyday life can put an abundant strain on a relationship. Severe stressors may include resentment, infidelity, intimacy issues, lack of trust, and miscommunication. When problems go unresolved, or a partner is suffering from mental illness or health complications, one can feel helpless or have feelings of guilt or shame. Communicating effectively on both parts can alleviate emotional anxiety from subjects of all kinds.
