As a clinician committed to your healing journey, my mission is to foster a nurturing and empathetic environment, guiding you toward healing, understanding, and the realization of your fullest potential.

You have been sitting with your thoughts and seem to recycle your memories. You are excellent at suppressing your hurt and stay busy with work and life as a distraction. You no longer connect with others the way you used to and keep friends and family at a distance. The Pandemic may have increased your anxiety and depression and you are uncertain where to begin. Your worry and fear come out as; anger, sadness and controlling behaviors, due to questioning your worth and self esteem. Will I ever feel truly happy? Will I feel truly loved? Will I find my life path and the career that makes my soul soar? Will I learn to forgive?

I’m so glad you have taken the necessary steps to begin your healing journey and I’m looking forward to working together. As a therapist, I have learned that a person’s greatest pain can also be their greatest source of strength. I help my clients, who include children, adults and families, to find healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen their relationships so they can know themselves as peaceful, complete, whole and safe. I will offer and assist with psychological education on specific issues, remain solution-focused, and always listening without judgment.

You hold yourself to a higher standard yet, lately seem to have lost focus and struggle to maintain your motivation. You find yourself starting to believe the small voice in the back of your head stating that you are not good enough. You go to lengths to take great care of others, however, do not extend the same love and care to yourself. You put on a happy face and pretend that all is well, however, often can feel very much alone and anxious. You may feel consumed by: sadness, fear, anger or hopelessness; and even the simplest of tasks seems overwhelming. You long to get back to your old self and find joy and meaning in life.

I'm currently accepting new clients for virtual or in-person care. I provide individual therapy for women and gender non-binary clients. My clients struggle with body image, relationship problems, or oftentimes a general sense of not feeling "good enough." Sometimes this shows up as anxiety in a romantic partnership, at work, or in the way they view their bodies.

Some may call it a calling, but I’ve always been passionate about helping others. For as long as I can remember, those closest to me would describe me as easy to talk to. As your therapist, I want to help create a space where you feel comfortable and are able to become the “you” you desire. I am trained to work with children, teens, and adults in individual and group settings. I specialize in working with people who are experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, and those who simply need a safe space to talk.

As a psychotherapist, my specialty is evaluation and assessment, and I am highly skilled and passion-driven. I am a trauma-informed clinician who has provided psychological evaluations for hundreds of individuals struggling with a wide range of psychiatric disorders. I have received extensive training from Physicians for Human Rights in conducting forensic assessments and am trained in the Istanbul Protocol for investigation and documentation of torture and its consequences. I am also an active member of the National Organization of Forensic Social Workers.

Do you feel overwhelmed by the challenges of life? Are you feeling stuck, disconnected, unsettled with life? Do you experience difficulty expressing your thoughts, feelings, or needs; or feel you have no one who you can talk to? I understand how life can sometimes challenge our ability to cope and, left unaddressed, create inner conflict and disrupt our joy. Whether you are experiencing personal struggles or distressing relationships, I can help. I have experience treating clients for trauma, anxiety, stress, depression, domestic violence, sexual trauma, family difficulties, anger management, and interpersonal conflict.

These days, it feels like you’re always on edge. In truth anything can set you off, so many days end with quiet tears in your bed or completely losing it with your partner and family … again. Yet there are times you just feel so completely disconnected and empty: not sure if you care too much or too little. You probably hide it well, others may even look up to you but inside feel like a mess- overwhelmed and tired. Spending so much time worrying and overthinking about everything but nothing changes. You expect better from yourself, you've faced hard challenges before. It feels like no matter what you do, you let everyone down.

Accepting new clients. Life can present many challenges, and it's not always easy to reach out for help. I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space for clients to share and process their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Whether you're going through a difficult time, looking to find healthy and effective coping tools, or gain a better understanding of yourself and your relationships, I can tailor my approach to meet your individual needs.

Life is too short for just getting by. Don't let depression, anxiety or anything else get in the way of feeling your best. In my practice, I examine a person from a variety of perspectives to work on getting to the root of emotional discomfort and navigating to better coping and living skills. Feeling better is possible. Call for a consultation and being living life to the fullest.
