Are you a 25-35 year old, type-A, high-achieving, anxiety prone human with diagnosed or suspected ADHD, a strained relationship with your mom, who people pleases and can never turn their brain off? You've been told you're "too sensitive" or "too much" or "too needy", and you learned to shut your emotions down just to function in this busy society. You're on an emotional rollercoaster, and you've TRIED to feel better: meditation, self-help, breathwork, exercise, therapy tiktoks and journaling...but nothing seems to stick for long. You're really ready and eager to make a change in your mental health, even if nothing else has worked.

It takes immense strength, courage, & trust to share oneself vulnerably, especially when you are struggling. Starting therapy can be both an overwhelming & intimidating process, especially when you may feel uncertain where to begin. Whether you are navigating complicated emotions, anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, trauma, pre- & postpartum challenges, low self-worth, or difficulty in relationships, know you are not alone & I am here to support you.

I also support people with issues related to migration, racialization, caste, religion and culture, genders and sexualities. The heart of our work together is our 'click,' so please feel free to call or email me for a no-commitment short consult.

Most people come to therapy to find answers or deal with the realities that they cannot understand or accept. A therapist's job is to unravel the threads of multiple, mostly negative, conversations going on in the clients' minds and explore them together. Sometimes, just the validation, presence and security of being with a safe person lets the client heal. I help people with emotional, relationship and mood disorders. My approach is open, engaged and client oriented. Every client whom I see brings his own unique worldview and we explore it together.

Sometimes we don’t have the words to describe exactly what’s wrong with us. All we know is that we feel completely exhausted by all of it. We feel it in our bones. We’re having trouble keeping up with our lives and feel like we keep repeating the same mistakes — like we keep letting people down. We keep trying to fix it, but nothing seems to work. We might resort to hiding all or part of ourselves because we think it’ll just make it easier for everyone. But the loneliness we feel from hiding all or part of ourselves from our families, friends, and loved ones can feel insidious and insurmountable.

You are important! I often hear my clients sharing their feelings of not being heard by their loved ones or not knowing where to start in their healing journey. I use self-compassion and your strengths as a starting point to build coping strategies. My goal is to always give you a space to be heard and someone on your team so you know you are not alone. I find the warmth of emotion-focused therapy and integrative approach of psychodynamic therapy combine to create a kind and deep understanding of my clients during their process. Your needs and boundaries are important, together we can work on building confidence and self-advocacy.
