An ideal client is one seeking inner and outer change to reach a more meaningful life. Exploring the inner world through cognitive approaches, mindfulness and dream work can help with the exploration of blocks stopping the process of change. Those seeking help in improving their marriage and family conflicts would benefit from being in a context where they can be heard as well as being exposed to the perspective of others. Clients having difficulties facing a new culture can benefit working with a bicultural therapist who lived in other countries and experienced those challenges.

Many clients tell me that they feel safe with me and that I "get them." I love helping individuals and couples clarify issues, understand their relationships triggers and move into gratifying connection with others and themselves. I work particularly well with Highly Sensitive and Creative people. I graduated with a Masters from the University of Chicago specializing in individual, couples and family therapy. I offer both long and short-term counseling. I also provide consultation to other therapists both individually and in a group.

I love hearing people's stories, and often, those stories are full of patterns stemming from one's lived experiences that can be unhelpful or make you feel stuck. While reenactment can be a means of coping, it's important to approach it thoughtfully, ideally with professional support, to ensure it leads to healing rather than further distress. Specializing in anxiety, trauma, depression, and life transitions, I provide a safe space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we will tailor therapy to your needs, cultivating a judgment-free environment built on mutual trust.

When junk food, Netflix binges, and a long cry aren’t quite enough to combat whatever has you feeling down or anxious, then perhaps it’s time to explore therapy. There is nothing quite as fulfilling as discovering the best version of yourself, and I’d be honored to help you find it!

I believe that the first step in getting help is asking for help. It is during this process that I have learned that creating a safe and comfortable place for my clients to work towards their goals is my ultimate passion.

Through an increased awareness, I will help my clients understand their core beliefs about themselves and the world in which they navigate. I am here to help my clients enhance their communication and emotional intelligence in a sensitive, structured and collaborative way.
