Are important relationships in your life suffering or in distress? I understand and I can help. I provide compassionate, warm and judgment-free therapy helping clients expand their awareness and understanding, reduce distress and heal from emotional pain (in whatever form that shows up). My work cultivates more secure and connected relationships, facilitates deep, meaningful and sustained change and supports clients in being their preferred selves.

My passion is to help those who feel weary and lost. It is difficult to be present and live a fulfilling life when the chains of past events hold us back. As hard as we run and distract ourselves, we also run away from our sense of self. Avoiding pain can grow into unhealthy behaviors and addiction. My intention is to help build a foundation for a meaningful life. Core pieces of the foundation include insight, communication, emotions, and connection. These pieces are vital to maintaining healthy relationships and attaining the love we want. Other important areas to consider are cultural identity, spirituality, and our past.

Know that each of us deserves the space to show up authentically and without judgment, to be truly seen and heard. You are welcome here; you and all the parts that make you uniquely you, including aspects that shine bright and ones hidden away, longing for attention. Two truths that inspire my work are that healing happens together & that you already have innate wisdom for wellbeing.

Often, we seek therapy when we feel overwhelmed—by anxiety, depression, a life transition or a difficult relationship. I create an empathic space where you can regain your balance, gain insight, and, ultimately, become more confident and secure. Together, we’ll identify the patterns that are holding you back, as well as your unique strengths. I am a bilingual licensed clinical social worker specializing in helping individuals and families heal from past and present difficulties. My training and practice include solution focused and trauma informed care that highlight the importance of developing healthy relationships.

I know... reaching out for therapy is difficult. The thought of a confiding in a complete stranger can seem weird. But I have high hopes that this will be the start of something beautiful. If you are an individual who feels empowered to help calm your anxieties, lift your spirits, and get rid of anything standing in the way of you living your best life, then you're in the right place.

Most of us go through difficult periods in our lives where we feel overwhelmed, alone, and confused. Sometimes, inevitable events in life, even happy ones, like starting a relationship, going off to college, or retirement, expose the wounds and memories from a recent or distant past that make the current situation painful and unbearable. While we survive those situations and adapt to the new realities of our circumstances, psychotherapy, specifically psychodynamic psychotherapy uses these moments as opportunities for a path for self-discovery and a chance to reevaluate our priorities and find meaning and purpose in our lives.

Life looks "fine" from the outside, but you sense that something is off within yourself, even if you're not sure what it is. Maybe on the inside you're quietly struggling, feeling disconnected and unfulfilled. Maybe you're looking for something more. You can usually figure things out on your own, so you feel frustrated that you haven't been able to resolve things on your own. I help adults and teens (age 14+) who are feeling anxious, depressed, or inauthentic to discover their true selves, learn new skills and feel better in their own skin.

Welcome! We are a team of psychotherapist who are united in our commitment to providing the highest-quality mental health care available to adults, adolescents, couples & families. We help high-functioning professionals, anxious overachievers, survivors of abuse, complex trauma and PTSD. Anger, numbness, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, phobias and addictions are usually the result of unresolved trauma. Even the slightest incidents can be traumatizing, impacting us from the inside out and hijacking our ability to cope. The good news is, you can’t change your past, but you don’t have to live there.

While I love working with women in their 20's and 30's, I am also VERY passionate about working with adolescents and their families! This is such a crucial time in our brain's development, and my goal in therapy is to assist my client's and their parents in learning how to manage the complexities of this dynamic period of life. Teenage years are a time of rapid growth and desire for autonomy. This can be very disruptive to the family system without the proper tools to manage the overwhelming emotions that adolescence is infamously known for, and unfortuantely some teens turn to unhelpful coping tools to avoid discomfort and stress.
