Bessel van der Kolk once wrote that “trauma is not just an event that took place sometime in the past; it is also the imprint left by that experience on the mind, brain, and body. This imprint has ongoing consequences for how the human organism manages to survive in the present.” I have come to have enormous respect for the wide range of defense mechanisms each of us creates to help us survive trauma and problematic fits with our environment. I enjoy helping others to understand and cultivate compassion towards these parts of ourselves and to build new, more adaptive ways of coping and ultimately thriving.

Life is a struggle. While we all have had joys to celebrate and call our own, no one escapes the slings and arrows of life's misfortunes. I believe we always respond to those misfortunes in ways we believe is best for us at the time. Sometimes we have clarity. We can proceed in a way that validates who we are and what's in our best interest. Other times, we may not know what to do or act in a way that does not turn out as well. We suffer as our past ways of handling this situation no longer fits to meet our present needs.

So many people feel misunderstood, isolated, afraid, angry, or depressed. Many have experienced things that cause them pain or deep confusion. I believe that providing a comfortable, nonjudgmental place can be the beginning of relief from this pain. I also believe it can be important to go beyond this and provide specialized treatment that addresses my clients' unique needs. I have worked for several years with adolescents, men, and others who oftentimes do not feel heard. I see change happen everyday; if it might be time for change or healing in your life contact me and let's get started.

Do you feel overwhelmed by all the demands of starting over in a new country? Do you get stressed by the clashes between your culture and American culture? Maybe you'd rather forget about the things you experienced back home. Or maybe you grew up here with parents who were born in a different country, and you feel stuck in between different cultures. If you feel depressed, anxious, or alone, I want you to know that this is very normal for people who are immigrants, or children of immigrants, and I'm here to help you overcome the challenges that come with navigating and adapting to multiple cultures.

I am a queer, white, cisgender psychotherapist. My practice is relational and grounded in anti-oppressive and liberatory social work perspectives. I use radical acceptance and compassionate curiosity to explore conditioning, name collective traumas from institutional and structural oppression, witness and support the multiple facets of self, and celebrate the wisdom of our minds, bodies, and spirits. I work to create a therapy space that is as fun and empowering as it is insightful and supportive.

You've heard of the Sunday scaries? What do you do if you have them all week? What if you spin with anxiety and worry about finding a path forward that allows for you to have BOTH fulfillment and real income? What if you dread going to work, but you're consumed with anxiety and stress about where to begin the process of reinventing yourself? You probably second-guess every decision you've made about your career, going so far back that you question your major in college.

When life throws things our way, we can be left not knowing where to turn. Navigating these times alone can be difficult and sometimes feel overwhelming. No matter what has made you seek support, I am glad you are here! I want you to know that you are not alone, and I would be honored to partner with you and support your needs. I work to provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore and process your feelings and build resilience. I use a client-centered approach with elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, solution-focused, and other techniques as appropriate.

Do you feel like you are struggling to understand your child? Perhaps your child is struggling at home, school, or other social environments? I specialize in helping children find their voice to effectively communicate and help bridge the parent child relationship. Parenting doesn't come with an instruction manual and can often become overwhelming. Through our work together I can help build the confidence needed to navigate the difficult situations often faced by both children and parents today. I connect with children by using play therapy, expressive arts, and other developmentally appropriate interventions.

Are you balancing care for aging parents, raising children, and managing a career, all while trying to honor your own identity? As a therapist, I understand how caregiving in the sandwich generation can make it feel nearly impossible to prioritize your own needs and desires. Together, we’ll explore how to reclaim your authentic self, set boundaries that protect your well-being, and rediscover passions that bring fulfillment beyond caregiving.
