As a compassionate guide and ally, I am here to support and empower women who find themselves navigating the challenging landscape of overwhelm. Many women today have multiple challenges having to do with working a stressful job, maintaining or finding a romantic relationship, and at the same time you may also be a parent or caretaker for an elderly parent. Life can become overwhelming, leading to anxiety and depression, engaging in destructive behaviors, and using addictive substances to numb the pain. My mission is to provide a safe space where you can explore these feelings without judgment and find healthier ways to cope.

I tend to think of therapy like tupperware. It's a safe container to unload, feel, and heal from life experiences so that we can better adapt to hardship and change. We all don't live in the same world. Many have been missed by people or systems that fell short. Whether we have a communal or a lone wolf mentality, our (dis)abilities are visible/invisible, who we love, our religious/spiritual beliefs, and, race/ethnicity all inform the ways we experience life. This is why a blend of Humanistic, evidence-based CBT & DBT theories, and traditional wisdoms, shape the foundation of my approach.

Do you feel as if every effort you make is never enough, that you are always striving for something bigger and better? As your therapist, I support individuals to begin to heal from past traumas and learn to accept and love themselves. I help couples to break free from unhealthy patterns to truly enjoy each other's company and love. I work from the lens of Trauma-Informed Care and Childhood Attachment. There are significant moments in our lives that change how we relate with ourselves and the world around us.

My parents once asked me how I would describe my view of life in one sentence, and I replied that my philosophy was "I don't know." I felt ashamed of using that phrase, but I now believe it was not a weak answer, just an incomplete thought. As a therapist for more than two decades, "I don't know" has now expanded into words I often use with clients I have the privilege to work with: "I don't know exactly what you have experienced, but I want to know. And I want to use all of my skills-empathy, insight, and knowledge among them-so that we can figure out together how to make your life better for you."

With a background in depth and transpersonal psychology, I utilize an integrative approach, drawing upon multiple psychological modalities including psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral therapy, family systems, mindfulness strategies, Buddhist psychology, and transtheoretical therapy.

In addition, clients develop the ability to be more at ease and compassionate with themselves while being less reactive to their negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
