I mean, let's be real... life can get very challenging. There are times we just have trouble knowing what to do. Friends and loved ones can be great sounding boards, but sometimes you need to look at things a bit differently. A new fresh perspective, a safe place to give the full nitty-gritty picture, that's what I'm here for! Also if you've got things you don't share but need to, therapy is just the place. Seen some things you feel like you can't share? Done some things you don't think others would understand? I'm here to help with the hard stuff.

Patients often tell me how they feel frustrated, hopeless, lost, and exhausted by the time they seek help. Therapy can give you a space to speak freely and listen to yourself in new and different ways. Many people I see in my practice are young adult children of immigrant parents who experience painful conflicts within their family of origin that lead to separation, emotional distance, or even estrangement. I also work with individuals who want support with exploring sexuality and gender identity in a nonjudgmental, open space for questioning. I also work with couples who want to change frustrating patterns in their relationship.

Let’s be real, looking for a therapist can be overwhelming. Lots of scrolling through profiles, reading countless bios, and not knowing where to start. And yet you still pursue it. To me, that shows an incredible amount of strength, resiliency, motivation, and a readiness for change. In my practice, I come from a collaborative, empathetic, humorous, and supportive approach, as I aim to listen and adapt to each individual’s or couple’s therapeutic goals.
