Issues at home, work, in relationships or within yourself can feel overwhelming--like roadblocks with no roadmap. I provide a trusted space for adults, couples and adolescents to work through difficulties that might leave you feeling stressed, confused, isolated anxious, angry, sad, or alone. We examine immediate stresses and past experiences that may be impacting your present life. I listen very carefully and supportively-not just for what may be holding you back--but also for what may help you thrive. As a licensed psychoanalyst with extensive broadcasting experience, I also specialize in social/performance anxiety issues.

Do you find yourself feeling sad, lonely, depressed, anxious and isolated? Do you find yourself asking "how did I get here in my life?" The truth is we all ask ourselves this question in different ways. My goal is too help you find your way back to a life that you enjoy. After major life changes, some we created, and others that we could not control, we are left to pick up the pieces of our lives and put our lives back together again. However, the pieces never quite fit back together in the same way. The picture looks different. The experience feels different.

In these times of crisis and uncertainty, it can be hard to remember our potential for joy, meaning, freedom, and connection. I act as an ally and accomplice, offering support as you walk the path of questioning and transformation. I believe therapy is just another word for the wisdom humans have always held – we hurt and are healed in relationship to others. Over the course of our work, clients gain confidence, self-compassion, and grow more attuned to the present moment.

Growing up as a child of immigrants, I have seen the challenges and pressures in my community as one attempts to assimilate into their current society while holding on to a culture that is so much of who they are. Striking a balance between meeting cultural expectations and forging your own path can be an obstacle towards achieving personal happiness. Even asking for help can be considered a sign of weakness- “I don’t really need therapy.” Perhaps you don’t “need” it, but you may have decided you want to make things better for yourself. So here we are, let’s start this journey together.

Whether it is working through trauma or beginning a path towards better self-understanding, it is the job of a mental health professional to provide an open, non-judgmental, and productive space to help accomplish your goals. Just like each person is unique, each treatment plan is different and adapted to who you are and what you need.

I recognize the courage it takes to seek therapy where you can bring your truth, examine your readiness to make changes, and explore your hopes and wishes for your future. Moreover, it can feel challenging finding a therapist who feels like a good match to engage in this important work. I am interested in learning what brings you to therapy and where you may be feeling "stuck" in your life. I offer a warm, compassionate space for you to feel seen, heard, and understood. I strive to empower you to consider ways to live authentically, congruent with your values and goals.
