As a compassionate and experienced psychotherapist with 18 years of practice, I specialize in helping young adults and adults navigate life's complex challenges. My clients often feel stuck, overwhelmed by transitions, or are grappling with relationships and grief. I also work extensively with depression, anxiety, and trauma, which are common yet profoundly impactful conditions that can hinder one's ability to lead a fulfilling life. Additionally, I conduct immigration psychological evaluations, including hardships, U Visa, VAWA, and asylum cases. With a profound understanding of the stressors that the immigration process entails.

You want to live the life you imagined for yourself; however, you find that self-criticism, painful past experiences, & negative feedback from others are taking up most of the space in your head. Your mental & physical energy are drained, leaving you feeling stuck and unmotivated. Your joy & hope are held captive & you find yourself in survival mode doing just what it takes to get through the day. You look at others & long for the success, confidence, & meaningful relationships that they seem to have mastered. You've tried many things (maybe even other therapists) & haven't achieved lasting change.

Every person has a unique life path that has led them to a specific moment where help might be needed. Sometimes our paths are filled with temporary roadblocks that we cannot remove alone. These roadblocks to our preferred path may be relational, emotional, and professional experiences. We can often attempt to push through the roadblocks, leading to burnout and emotional distress. We try to do things alone because it feels safe to keep our concerns private. Many believe they are meant to experience things, especially the challenging moments in life alone. Yet, in times of difficulty, it is helpful to seek support and healing.

You’re exhausted. You work hard to keep the people in your life happy, but you can’t help but feel unfulfilled, overwhelmed and unappreciated yourself. So, you try harder and give more, but it doesn’t feel like you’ll ever be enough. You keep up the façade that everything’s okay, but beneath the surface, you feel stuck in a prison of chronic guilt, worry and self-criticism. The constant swallowing of your own truth for others’ approval has left you empty. And the truth is, its lonely in there where no one sees the real you.
