Life is a journey, and like every journey, it has various possibilities, challenges, and gifts. There was a time when you had a clear vision of what you wanted out of life, but lately, you’ve lost your way. It’s especially difficult when moving to a new place and navigating different cultures. If only there were a way to take a step back and gain some perspective. Then maybe you could reorient your path to align with your goals and ambitions. But that feels impossible. You’ve spent so long going through the motions of life that you’ve lost touch with yourself. You know you need to make a change, but you just don’t know how.

My clients often show up to therapy because of a need for meaningful change in their lives, and a desire to feel happier and more fulfilled. You may find yourself struggling with self-doubt and a harsh, critical inner voice; feeling stuck, sad, far away, and disconnected; navigating a new or difficult circumstance such as death of a loved one; or wanting help to reduce conflict and improve communication with your partner. I see therapy as an opportunity for transformative insight, creativity, self-expression, and healing. It is a place to process and move past the painful experience that stick with us and hold us back.

Not sure if you want kids? Have been struggling to conceive and are in the thick of fertility treatment? Have kids and are overwhelmed but don't feel you can talk about that? I provide support to those thinking about parenthood, struggling to become parents and those making the transition into parenthood. With me there is space to talk about those things you don't want to say out loud-that feel taboo; a place where your own personal experience is right, validated and accepted. Looking forward to collaborating with you.

You deserve to love every single part of who you are. It's not always easy. Maybe it's been especially hard lately. Maybe there are past experiences that have damaged your sense of self-worth. Maybe you're suffocated by a society that tells you how you should look, behave, and love. Maybe you struggle with a sense of shame that makes it difficult to be radically, fully, unapologetically you. Somewhere along the way, you've gotten stuck. It's time to get unstuck. Let's figure this out together.

Therapy is an open, non-judgmental space to come into contact with your thoughts, feelings and the complex and challenging aspects of life. Through the process you will begin to know yourself, more honestly and intimately in order to live a deeply meaningful life with clear intention and heart aligned purpose. As we work together a hope of mine is to collaborate with you in a empathetic, compassionate and creative way. I will bring an integrative framework into the process using a holistic approach to healing and unifying body, heart and mind. Our suffering is worthy of our time, our curiosity and our compassionate attention.

I believe beginning therapy takes courage and I have the utmost respect for anyone taking that risk. I strive to create a warm space of acceptance for wherever you may be in your journey. For as long as I can remember I've been interested in people's stories. It's not surprising that I ended up doing the work I do. As a therapist, I listen to a person and help them make sense of both their struggles and their strengths. I help my clients find meaning in their experience and move forward to create new stories about themselves and the world around them.

Hi there! I work with clients to process unresolved conflicts from the past, bringing awareness to present-day problems and symptoms. This insight can help reveal patterns of how one has developed certain defense mechanisms over time. In therapy one can learn to replace these defenses with healthy coping skills.
