Are you looking for an embodied, creative, collaborative, and deeply transformative approach to navigating your life's challenges? My clients are soulful individuals and couples who are serious about healing the root causes of pain and conflict. This journey means connecting with the deep wisdom of your psyche and becoming more courageous, vulnerable, empathic, and accountable in all areas of your life. Many of my clients describe themselves as people for whom talk therapy "hit a wall," and who are looking for a therapist who can help integrate the spiritual process of "waking up" with the emotional process of "growing up."

Do you find yourself ruminating about your fears and frustrations? Are you having communication issues with your partner? At work? With friends? Feeling anxiety? Depression? Do you experience more lows than you are used to? Does life feel like a burden, something that is happening to you and you have no ability to move toward what you want, but rather complain and blame those you love? The past few years may have been very hard for you, and you feel a bit hopeless. Do you find yourself reacting to other people's statements about you? Do you argue and try to convince them that they don't understand?

Therapy is most effective when it is customized to meet the needs of the individual and incorporates flexibility, authenticity, and a touch of humor. This occurs within a therapeutic relationship where there is trust, openness, and warmth. I believe in the inherent resilience of people and view therapy as an opportunity to build on the strengths we naturally posses. My therapeutic style is supportive, engaged, and collaborative. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults. I am licensed in New York and California.

The first steps to beginning therapy can seem hard. I want you to have hope, that If you are feeling stuck in unhealthy feelings or thoughts or needing support through stressful life events, there are effective holistic strategies for finding relief and bringing you back into balance. Trauma, anxiety, depression, anger, grieving are all experiences of the body as much as the mind, and effective therapy should integrate both. Through a compassionate, accepting relationship and an innovative somatic approach, I have found success in guiding clients to find relief of their symptoms and struggles in their body, mind, and hearts.

My role as a psychotherapist is to accompany people on their courageous journeys of healing, discovery, and self-expression. I enjoy working with individuals who are curious and inspired to take their inner work seriously. I believe that the narratives we tell about ourselves hold tremendous power and that, through our work together, we can become more conscious of how these stories shape our lives in order to find opportunities for new understanding and meaning making. As a depth psychotherapist, I have reverence for the wisdom of psyche, the unconscious, to help guide us to explore parts of ourselves in order to become more whole.

“Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful parts of us” - David Richo. Many of us struggle with the wounds of our past, the pain that we might be struggling with in our present, or the uncertainty of our future. Change can be scary; and sometimes it can feel easier to stay in the known, even when that brings fear, pain, or resentment. You being here recognizes that there is a part of you that is interested in changing. I come to you as a woman of color, a first-generation American, a mother, and a therapist – these roles influence my approach.

Life is filled with inevitable change–some of which is more manageable than others. Youth, especially, undergo rapid transitions – in the development of the mind and body, within relationships, and with their emotions, identity, attitudes, and beliefs. Navigating these transitions on their own can be overwhelming, leading to incongruent living and problematic behaviors including withdrawing from peers or family, exhibiting defiance, or struggling at school. Children and adolescents also struggle with self-confidence leading to excessive worrying about the opinions of others, increased dysregulation, and a lack of calm and composure.
