It is said that the role of an interpreter is to bridge the communication gap between two or more parties who do not speak the same language. As a person who grew up dreaming of becoming a UN interpreter, I am a therapist whose passion is to help translate the language of the heart to help individuals increase personal insight and understanding of their emotion to better connect and strengthen their relationships with others. If you feel that your effort to improve your relationship with loved ones is not working, allow me to come alongside and help you.

Are you tired of code/persona switching? Maybe there are some underlying behaviors & emotions that don't make sense & you want to learn more? Or maybe you can't seem to connect with someone who actually "gets it", which doesn't mean they're terrible people, because they're endearing when they try, but they just don't seem to fully understand. It's hard trying to navigate life & all it's complexities. As humans, we're multi-faceted, multi-dimensional beings which can be really overwhelming. There are parts that we love, other parts that we dislike, maybe even hate. This can cause to act in self-sabotaging ways, unintentionally.

I am here for you! We can easily become consumed with negative thinking and/or dysfunctional behaviors. When we don't have specific tools to cope effectively with stress, we can quickly fall into some destructive patterns. Let’s work together and find better ways to respond.

In all phases of life, we face constant change and unexpected circumstances. Even for those who are strongly independent and resilient, life can be overwhelming at times. Therapy can be a space to explore the parts of life that feel uncertain and unmanageable, and identify where you want to go from here. Building the foundation for growth in therapy starts by creating a safe, genuine space where people can feel heard, understood, and valued for the person they are. I believe that people can foster long-term growth through understanding their journey, connecting with their true emotions, and empowering choice with authenticity.

Hi, what's on your mind? Maybe it's related to something that has been with you for a while. Or is it related to a recent interaction that has affected your behaviors and thoughts? Perhaps you just need some space to understand, recognize, or interpret a situation that is difficult to grasp or say out loud. Our beautifully chaotic identities are shaped by an endless number of life circumstances, experiences, and even pure chance, so I am not promising to make perfect sense of everything. What I offer is an opportunity for exploration, self-discovery, acceptance, empowerment, and serenity.

Do you ever feel like life is too difficult, too painful, or unfair? Negative experiences can often overshadow everything, shaping how we see the world and interact with those around us. Life's challenges can impact us in many ways, causing mood fluctuations, and difficulties in adjusting to new situations, and straining personal, school, and work relationships. As a therapist, we tailor our approach to each individual's needs and circumstances, using techniques such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and the Gottman Method for couples.

New year, new you? Maybe it’s getting back who you really are at the core. You feel like something is “off.” That’s ok. You might have an idea (or too many ideas or none at all) of how you want to show up in the world. Maybe you’re worried about what other people will think if you step into the dream life you really want. Perhaps you’re a little scared of claiming it. Your big dreams of loving who you are, loving what you do (and who you work with) and being in full alignment could feel like mission impossible right now. The good news is it’s all possible. You just need to take a next step. I’d love to support you!

To others, it seems like you have it all. But underneath lives a different story. Despite your outward success, you feel haunted sometimes by feelings of failure, conflict, self-doubt. At certain moments, a gnawing sense overcomes you, telling you: Something is not right. You've made changes but somehow still end up in the same unsatisfying patterns, repeating the same unhelpful behaviors -- feeling more and more alone. You want to understand your patterns and your past so you can create a different future. You want to learn to feel differently about yourself and how you relate with others. You want to find a different way.
