I also assist couples to enhance their communication style to successfully manage conflict, rebuild connection, deepen their friendship, intimacy, and trust in order to restore the relationship.

I also specialize in couples therapy.
Do you struggle with feelings of anxiety, depression, guilt or low self-esteem? Do you find yourself avoiding social engagements or so preoccupied with excessive worrying? Finding ways to navigate these difficult feelings can help you get back on track. I use a psychodynamic approach and CBT that focuses on uncovering patterns of behavior and ways of relating to ourselves and others that are often outside of our awareness. I also consider how our past impacts who we are today. Through acceptance and empathy, we will establish a trusting therapeutic relationship and work together toward your personal growth and self-discovery.

In today's world we are surrounded by constructive and destructive forces. It is easy to get sucked in by the destructive forces such as fear or negativity which can lead to uneasiness, isolation, and disappointments. I believe therapy can be a helpful space to shift your focus to more constructive forces within yourself, your family, and your community. Therapy can help you to channel the pain into creation of a peaceful act, whether that's developing greater self-compassion, or untangling any relationship issues.

NEW: offering couples therapy for those with complex PTSD histories affecting & straining the relationship.
Childhood trauma, racism and microaggressions traumatize us and leave you feeling shame, embarrassment, anger and that you're not enough. You feel alone and in pain, and you deserve emotional peace by speaking to a professional who listens, provides safety, validating AND gently challenging your fears and negative thoughts of yourself. It is important that these false narratives do not define your self worth and perceptions of yourself, preventing YOU from identifying your own needs. I seek to work with children of immigrants, experiencing relationships issues NOW, due to childhood or recent trauma. Together, we process & heal.

Are you finding yourself stuck in the same old patterns and behaviors, even though you're aware of what drives them and where they come from? You are not alone!

We will be co-travelers on a journey where you are the expert of your own experience. Not only will we work to support your healing but go beyond to help you to envision and build a rich, meaningful, value-driven life.

I’ve worked with teens, adults, and couples experiencing major life transitions, chronic illness, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, grief and loss and low self esteem/confidence.
Healing is rarely a linear journey. I believe that you are the expert of your own life, and with support, you will become more aware of the strengths you already possess. I am here to create the safe and empathetic space to support your exploration and help process what you find within. I work on building inner awareness to grow acceptance with yourself and the world around you. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, grounding practices and nervous system tools through polyvagal theory and EMDR to help with trauma, anxiety, and daily life stress. I’m passionate about using the mind-body connection to improve your overall mental health.

I view therapy through a person centered and relational lens when working with individuals, couples and families.
The main predictor that determines if therapy will be successful is the client’s connection with their therapist. That is why it is crucial to find a therapist who is empathetic to your journey and approaches you without judgment. It is my goal to empower my clients to take the lead in their therapeutic journey. I work alongside you in a warm and understanding environment where you can explore your emotions and find better ways to deal with the stressors in life. We will collaborate to increase your self-esteem, develop healthy boundaries and enhance your relationships.
