If you struggle with depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, relationship issues or parenting challenges, I can help! I have worked with adults, seniors and couples for many years. I listen carefully and compassionately to your special needs, and consider them in the context of your experience and present situation; a holistic approach that recognizes both your current needs and their roots. Often these roots are cultural, a fact I know because my own life spans several cultures. I am committed to empowering those affected by trauma and other adverse life experiences.

Our experience spans helping adults and teens with anxiety, depression, self-esteem enhancement, stress management, and trauma.
Therapy is an intimate journey, one that invites you into a warm, welcoming sanctuary where your feelings can breathe freely. Imagine stepping into a space bathed in soft, soothing light, the gentle scent of lavender wrapping around you like a comforting embrace. At the center of this haven stands a stunning mirror, not just any mirror, but one that reflects the depths of your emotions and thoughts. As you gaze into it, you see your true self, illuminated and vulnerable, guiding you to uncover and cherish every facet of who you are.

Having completed fellowships in Child & Adolescent Psychodynamic Therapy, and Adult Psychodynamic Therapy, I work primarily with children, adolescents, and young adults. I work from a base of psychodynamic and interpersonal talk therapy (in the form of play with younger children) to build awareness and to work through internal distress or conflict. I augment this work by using third-wave CBT modalities, which draw on mindfulness strategies and skills, in order to use ‘achieved awareness and understanding’, to live in new, more balanced, skillful, and regulated ways.

Life during parenthood can be beautiful but also extremely challenging. Feeling stressed, anxious, hyper vigilant, angry, worried, sad, burnt out, spread too thin, unsupported, or just not like yourself can add to the already challenging job set before you as a parent, but there is hope.

I understand that you want to be able to enjoy your parenthood journey, and life, once again, and I will guide you to relief, clarity, and healing through warmth, understanding, and treatment methods designed specifically for parents.
