Healing doesn’t happen in isolation but in connection. I care deeply about co-creating a safe, nurturing therapeutic space, one where you (individually or with your partner/family) can identify and divest yourself of the internalized narratives and patterns that no longer serve you. Our beliefs are shaped largely by the stories we have been told all our lives - by family, peers, culture, religion, and larger systems that we may not even be aware of. In partnership, we can examine what narratives you want to hold onto and which ones hold you back from living in alignment with the person/couple/family you want to be.

As you navigate life, you will be faced with many challenges and successes. The road to those successful moments all depends on how you react to the bumps along the way. You may feel stuck, defeated, tired, confused, numb and all these feelings are valid. However, remember you are in control even when you feel out of control. As your therapist, I am here as your guide to help you uncover the tools you need to regain the strength, confidence and clarity to keep moving forward.

The hardest part of therapy is starting therapy. I practice from the belief that no matter how stuck or broken you may feel, growth and healing are always possible. Using a supportive and collaborative therapeutic approach that stresses mindfulness and your resilience, I aim to foster insight into the developmental origins of your struggles, and highlight patterns of feeling, thoughts, and behavior. Therapy is an opportunity to gain insight into your more vulnerable parts of self, expand your perspective, heal and ultimately move towards self-acceptance and a more fulfilling life.

I work with people who are part of the LGBTQIA+ communities and allies. My work is rooted in gender-affirming therapy for those seeking exploration and support around their gender identities. I also work with those who are living with addiction and recovery. I work with clients who live, work and play under a cloak of secrecy; the outside world sees them as goal-driven professionals who have stable relationships and a host of family and friends. My clients hide their struggles with Depression, Anxiety, Low Self Esteem, and Substance Use. My clients want to live and love authentically.

Therapy might seem intimidating, but I work from a very friendly and relatable approach. My style of therapy is affirming and non-judgmental. I like to think of our sessions as two humans co-navigating whatever challenge you’re going through. I’m just as curious about how your past shaped you as I am about your goals for the future. On my therapy couch, you can safely explore your deepest thoughts and worries with someone genuinely interested in your story.

Relationship stress and the weight of the world can prevent us from living a life aligned with our values. When you're feelings stuck, having a non-judgmental therapist can be the support you need to make important changes. As a licensed clinical psychologist, I provide evidence-based psychotherapies for individuals struggling with anxiety, stress, panic attacks, depression, self-esteem, relationship issues, and life transitions. To support my clients, I integrate evidence-based treatments with relational and process-oriented techniques.

These are challenging fast-moving times. The demands from family, career, social and romantic relationships can feel overwhelming and unmanageable. How do we find the time to excel in our professional lives and simultaneously make room for healthy loving connections with those that are important to us? How do we manage our anxiety, sadness, and grief in real-time when we are feeling angry, confused, isolated, and perhaps abusing alcohol, drugs to numb the overwhelming sense of fear, depression, or frustration we feel in our lives? How do we live our best lives and gravitate toward healthier connections and decision making?

Whatever brings you to the doorway of therapy (telehealth portal or literal door!), my aim is to greet you with compassion, support, and insight. Together we’ll shine light onto obstacles and patterns you wish to shed, in order to help you navigate your inner/outer world with greater ease. If you struggle with stress and overwhelm, perfectionism, low self-esteem, or depressed mood or anxiety – know that healing is possible. My approach is collaborative and individualized, focusing not merely on treating symptoms, but on supporting you as a whole person deserving of a safe space in which to feel heard and understood.

My experience includes working with adults, children, adolescents and families in various settings (e.g., inpatient and day treatment settings, college counseling centers, schools). I believe that the ultimate objective of therapy, regardless of approach/orientation, is to gain a better understanding of one's self. A therapist is a guide in that process. As your guide, I will use an integrative individualized approach that incorporates psychodynamic and other evidence-based techniques (e.g., CBT, DBT). We will work collaboratively to find comfort and acceptance in the uncertainties of life.

Kids are under enormous pressure at home, in school and with peers. These pressures can present themselves in many ways -- as childhood anxiety, adolescent depression, or school behavioral problems. My focus is on making your child feel heard, while providing them with a tool belt of coping mechanisms that can be accessed whenever they are feeling overwhelmed. Your child will build self-esteem along with practical emotional awareness and regulation skills that can be incorporated into their daily lives.

Are you someone who has recently discovered you're on the Autism Spectrum later in life? Perhaps you've always felt a bit different but didn't have a name for it until now? You're not alone, & this journey of self-discovery can be both enlightening and challenging. I embrace a neurodiversity-affirming approach, recognizing & celebrating the diverse ways our brains work. If you’re a neurotypical parent struggling to accept your child’s diagnosis, stressed by IEP meetings, coping w/ seeing your child treated unfairly, or looking for insight into your child’s sensory challenges, I’m here for you too. (Note: I do NOT work with minors.)

Are you an immigrant or child of immigrants stuck in painful relationships over clashing expectations and feeling unseen? Are you the “high achiever” or “caretaker” but have to hide parts of yourself and can’t shake the underlying fear that something isn’t right? Are you curious about how intergenerational experiences influence your identities, decisions, and struggles? You may have sought relief from the conflict, anxiety, and shame but not in the healthiest ways. You may finally be considering therapy to stop avoiding, stop suffering, and start healing. You’ve come to the right place.
