My intention as a therapist is to empower individuals be in tune with their deepest truths and to relate to life in a more authentic way. By providing a warm environment, I hope my clients feel safe to express what matters to them. My therapeutic approach is strongly influenced by more than 12 years of a dedicated meditation practice. I utilize mindfulness and somatic approaches in supporting people to become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and body sensations. In doing so, I trust that our ability to welcome our experience creates possibilities for healing and ultimately to cultivate a "life worth living." I have over 10 years of experience working in multiple mental health settings with people of different ages, ethnic backgrounds, religious affiliations, socioeconomic statuses, sexual orientations, and various mental health conditions. I welcome people from all walks of life, and have experience working with a wide range of clients. Currently, I specialize in emotional regulation skills for adults and adolescents. I have an extensive background in substance abuse therapy. I work with couples on intimacy. I support successful professionals deal with stress. I help bicultural individuas. I assist men in enhancing emotional intelligence, and guide integrating spirituality and daily life.
