as well as the treatment of substance abuse issues, emotional regulation, stress management, complex trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, interpersonal issues, grief and bereavement.
I believe that the therapeutic relationship should be a place of authenticity and acceptance, and my goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space that nurtures personal growth and healing. Having lived and worked in Asia for more than a decade, I offer a culturally sensitive environment that honors the wisdom and experience of each individual. As a somatic-based psychotherapist, I focus on the development of self-awareness and self-knowledge of both mind and body. I use traditional talk-therapy, but I also incorporate the tools of yoga therapy, dance/movement therapy and the Eastern concept of mindfulness.

My practice is rooted in the belief that everyone is worthy of health, recovery, and a positive relationship with food and their body, no matter their size. My goal is to create a space that feels safe and supportive enough to make positive change happen. I specialize in eating disorders (Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, OSFED), self-esteem challenges, anxiety disorders, depression, and self-harming behaviors in young adults (18+) and adults. I have a particular interest in exploring the intersection of eating disorders and both religious trauma and borderline personality disorder (BPD).

I have experience and skill working with complex trauma and people who identify as queer/LGBTQ+.
People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons, yet a common thread unites this motivation: the desire to understand one's experience. Sometimes life can be a struggle: identity, relationships, environments and situations can stress our resources and lead us to lean on familiar ways of being, even when those ways do not feel useful or helpful anymore. Therapy presents an opportunity to be curious, to foster new depths of understanding, and to develop a greater sense of meaning. It also provides a space to explore ways of relating to yourself, others in your life, and the world.

I help clients facing challenges with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief/loss, medical diagnoses, chronic illness, relationship challenges, work stressors, life transitions, etc.
Not accepting new patients & unable to respond to inquiries; It can be nerve-wracking coming in for the first time, telling a stranger about your personal life. In therapy, you need to feel comfortable with the person you are sitting with so you can feel more at ease sharing what you need to. Our first conversation/session is a time for you to get to know my style, a time for me to get a better sense of what brings you to therapy, and to learn how I can best support you (i.e., therapy, referral, etc.).

Is your life out of balance? Would you like to be at peace with yourself and more connected with others? Are conflicting emotions and thoughts leading to unskillful behaviors? Taking a look at difficult patterns takes courage, and this courage deserves compassion. An understanding and skillful exploration of choices and motivators can clear the way for powerful changes that were previously unreachable.

Any number of mental health issues and life struggles can keep us from feeling happy or being our best selves. They can effect our self-esteem, relationships, motivation and get in the way of our goals or even a good night's sleep. Insight, coping skills, and even small behavioral changes can go a long way toward improving our emotional well-being.
