I specialize in Relationship Issues, Marriage Counseling, Women's Issues & ADHD.
Are you rocking that 'got-it-together' facade, but deep down you're really falling apart? You're not alone. Life's throwing punches, and the struggle is real. You're seeking direction and clarity, but you feel stuck, caught in self-doubt, and trapped in "stay or leave" dilemmas. The uncertainty is unsettling and you start questioning everything about your relationship…and yourself. Whether it's your marriage, career, or the sheer weight of everything around you—I get it. It's like having a hundred tabs open in your mind at once, making it hard to think straight and perform as you envision. You're exhausted. It's time for a change.

I have extensive experience working with issues such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, academic stress, college and career counseling, giftedness/2e, trauma, and ADHD.
My therapeutic approach centers on cultivating a strong alliance with my clients, as I believe that the foundation of effective therapy lies in the rapport we build and the sense of safety clients feel in our sessions. I place great importance on identifying and building upon my clients’ strengths, as I believe this empowers them to engage more fully in the therapeutic process. With a trauma-informed and multicultural lens, I help clients navigate and process difficult past experiences, while also acknowledging how race and ethnicity shape our perceptions of the world and influence personal growth.

I am an experienced Dialectical behavior Therapist (DBT) and I work with adults and older teens with Depression, Personality Disorders, Asperger, ADHD.
Do you worry about your relationships with people? Your boss? Your spouse? your kids? Do you sometimes feel like your mood or your emotions cause you to say and do things you regret later? Maybe you are in what seems like an impossible parenting situation. Maybe you and your partner argue or struggle with emotions and parenting or what to say to each other to turn things around. Maybe you are just trying to figure out your identity or experiencing difficult work environments that seem unjust. Maybe you are neurodivergent or autistic and feel misunderstood, sad, or hopeless-maybe even a bit suicidal.
