As a military retiree, I am familiar with the military life experience. You can feel safe and supported in the therapeutic space. You can take the first step towards hope and healing whether you are experiencing symptoms of trauma from PTSD, sexual abuse, anxiety, depression, or grief. You might also be struggling as you transition from military to civilian life. This can be a time of confusion for you and your family. You don't have to make this journey by yourself.

I enjoy helping couples. My approach to couples therapy is from the developmental model of couples therapy from the Couples Institute. I am currently participating in their one-year training. I believe that when couples try to resolve their challenges, it’s more than learning communication skills. It’s learning to understand themselves and their needs; as well as learning how to understand and work together as a couple, whether their goal is to stay together or grow apart amicably.

As an immigrant, I can relate to your experience. I have worked with immigrants and their families through all of my training. I look forward to hearing your immigration and acculturation story. I continue to stay on top of immigrant and racial issues in our country so that I can help individuals from various races and religions as they navigate through their racial identity, immigration story, and the challenges that they face.

Are you stressed? Is your anxiety making life difficult? Do you feel as if you've moved away from your values? Being anxious or distressed can affect the way you see yourself and others. It can be terrifying and challenging, especially if you’ve experienced trauma, life transitions, marriage difficulties, or other life stressors. You will be provided a safe space during therapy, so that you can better understand yourself, improve your ability to make choices, and feel whole again.

As a military veteran, I am familiar with the military life experience. Maybe you are struggling from symptoms of trauma, sexual abuse, anxiety, depression, or grief. All these experiences bring difficult emotions. Perhaps you are struggling as you transition from the military to civilian life. When a person transitions from the military to civilian life, so does the family. This can be a time of confusion after living a structured life. Whatever the reason, we can work together.

When we hear the word grief, we think of someone dying. Grief can be someone we love dying. It can also be a loss of a pregnancy, pet, job, youth, limb, or something important to us. You might be feeling lost, confused, sad, depressed, anxious, mad, or all of the above. All these feelings are normal and you don’t have to be alone. You also don't need a timeline to be over your grief. It would be an honor to walk with you as you unravel your emotions during your journey through grief.

Trauma can bring lots of emotions that can make life difficult to navigate. It can be frustrating and frightening. Trauma can affect the way you see yourself, others, and situations. If you are an immigrant or a veteran, you might have seen or experienced a traumatic event. In therapy, I will provide you a safe space where we can talk about your experiences, thoughts, and emotions so that you can begin your journey of feeling whole again.

Trauma can be old and buried; it can be new and raw. Trauma can be covered by anxiety, depression, anger, and addictions. It can suffocate relationships. It can make you feel unfree. When your nervous system is gripped by trauma, it can surrepticiously affect your life experiences, as well as how you see yourself and others. We are not meant to be alone in our struggle to live more fully and more freely. In therapy, I will listen to you and help you reclaim what has been lost to you.

You might be feeling anxious and overwhelmed. Memories haunt you. When those thoughts come, you find yourself with your chest tightening, headaches, and possibly crying. You feel hopeless, exhausted, on edge, overextended, and stressed. You find yourself avoiding places or people. There is no safety in the world. These are affecting your relationships, communication, work, and sleep. You long for connection and meaning of life.

We'll set inspiring goals, overcome obstacles, and learn skills. You'll learn to take back control of your life and live up to your true potential.
