As a couples therapist I create a calm and non-judgmental environment for clients to connect (or reconnect) in ways they have been unable to on their own. Most people are often surprised that they have vulnerable, emotional, and confident sides of themselves. I have found that when people are able to tap into these skill sets, change is almost inevitable. My favorite thing about being a therapist is helping couples see the impact that vulnerability can have on improving their relationship. I believe that every relationship hits bumps and struggles, but, with help, everyone is capable of change.

I’m happy you’re here! I believe that healing takes place in relationship. My therapeutic approach is reflective, humanist, and conversational. I work through Relational-Cultural, Feminist and Person-Centered theoretical frameworks. We will work together to create a space of healing that is non-judgmental and grounded in self-directive, goal-oriented, and strengths-based work. There is not a one-size-fits-all approach to the therapeutic relationship, so our work together will be tailored to best address your needs as you identify them.

We are often socialized to look outward, whether it’s to our family, friends, or societal expectations in order to fit in and succeed. Therapy is an opportunity to intentionally look inward at ourselves and help us find directions to live as our most authentic self.

Finding a therapist is a challenging, yet courageous step. Maybe it is hard to find the words to express what is wrong. Or, you have the words but no one to share them with. It can be difficult to trust that someone will understand you. I welcome you to reach out. I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, complex trauma, low self-esteem, shame, and struggling with emerging adulthood and identity. I understand the pervasive impact of childhood trauma and complex family dynamics. It is painful to long for connection and to feel unsafe or uneasy in the presence of others.

Are you burned out? Do you feel anxious or exhausted all the time? Maybe you give so much of yourself to others that there's nothing left for you. You're overstretched or depressed. You feel overwhelmed and stuck. Perhaps your relationships are suffering. Your quality of life is compromised. You're disconnected, anxious, and feeling negative. You feel inhibited and lost. You're unsure how to stop this pattern, but today you've found yourself here seeking change!

I specialize in working with clients struggling to find balance within emotional highs/lows, dealing with life transitions, anxiety that can show up as racing thoughts or excessive worry and low self-esteem. I primarily use DBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based CBT to provide evidence-based coping strategies and resources. By showing up authentically, my goal is to create a safe space for you to feel heard, empowered, and collaboratively work towards accomplishing your goals.

Each of us encounters struggle in our lives: the essential element of my approach to psychotherapy involves the sharing of these struggles in a therapeutic relationship. Once this foundation has been laid, we progress toward mutually agreed upon goals. My patients often find that problems bringing them into therapy are connected to other parts of their lives. We work together to uncover these elements and open doors to greater satisfaction and self understanding.

You already have the answers - my role as your therapist is to collaborate with you to bring your capacities and experiences to the forefront. My personal identities (i.e. latine and South Asian), along with my education in psychology, religion, and social work, inform my practice through an anti-oppression lens that is affirming of people on the LGBTQIA2S+ spectrum, people of all sizes, genders, racial, and religious identities, parenting and non-parenting people, diverse relationship structures, kinksters, people who have been incarcerated, and people who work(ed) in survival economies (i.e. sex work, drug trade, etc.).

We each come to therapy for different reasons, but in my experience, it usually has to do with a growing awareness that there’s something standing in the way of our ability to be who we want to be. Sometimes it’s not clear what the obstacle is or even what exactly we are striving for. I believe deeply that therapy can be transformative, and research tells us that the best therapeutic work is compassionate, intentional, and fundamentally collaborative.
