Do you have anxiety about your anxiety? Do you experience intrusive thoughts or panic attacks that make it hard not to avoid certain things? Do you feel overwhelmed in general by intense emotions and unsure which coping skills will actually help in the moment? As a therapist it is my passion to provide support around this and help clients overcome their fear of anxiety, so they may experience less anxiety in the first place. Many clients struggle with coping on their own without seeking reassurance from others or using ways to cope that cause a new set of problems. I teach skills to help provide a new way to navigate anxiety.

All of us have moments in our lives when we could use a little extra help. Therapy can be that support, whether we’re facing big changes, past traumas, issues in our relationships, ongoing mental health struggles, or burnout from the demands of everyday life. It allows for the time to be heard and seen, to talk things through, to build better coping skills, and reach greater fulfillment. I’ve felt privileged to see and aid in this growth process throughout my time working with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and eating disorders.

My favorite part of being a therapist is the continuously evolving relationship that I foster with my clients. I love learning about my clients— everything that makes them who they are, from their interests to their cultural influences to their friends and family, and how all of this impacts the way they view the world. I am passionate about assisting clients who suffer from anxiety, OCD, and relationship issues but also enjoy working with clients with a variety of other concerns including addictions, self-esteem, trauma, and more. I provide counseling that is culturally competent and LGBTQ+ affirming.

I specialize in supporting women of color, immigrants, individuals of all ages experiencing major life transitions, trauma survivors, and perinatal warriors.
In my practice, I provide a safe and inclusive space where you can critically examine your challenges, find strength, and embrace your true potential. My approach is rooted in compassion, cultural sensitivity, and evidence-based techniques tailored to your specific needs. Therapy is meant to be a relationship where we can say the things we don’t normally say aloud and practice the habits we want to build and use in our daily lives. Our therapeutic relationship is the judgement-free zone in which you can learn and practice how to voice your needs, set boundaries, and own your power in your relationships.

I work with individuals navigating life's transitions, identities, and relationships. They may face challenges in romantic, familial, or professional connections, seeking to understand these dynamics. They might also deal with multicultural identities, cultural adjustment, and acculturation. Their goals include fostering healthier relationships, asserting their needs, and achieving balance and fulfillment. They seek an empathetic, empowering therapeutic environment where their unique needs are understood and addressed, aiding their journey towards personal growth and empowerment.

I have a passion for women's wellness.
Therapy sessions with me look a lot like a conversation. I believe that you ultimately know yourself, and I am here to be a guiding source and facilitator within the room. Depending on your needs, I can provide resources to coping mechanisms, practices and tools to take outside of our sessions. I can also be someone who listens without judgment. Therapy can be nerve racking, so I am open to listening and changing things up depending on how you grow and what you need. I love to learn and am always trying to create a positive therapy experience for you.

My practice centers on helping people live everyday more fully. Daily pressures to manage work, relationships, and ourselves often leave us feeling overwhelmed and frustrated.
Some people express these feelings through anxiety or persistent self-critical thoughts. Others may feel discouraged, guilty, ashamed or sad. Many use substances, food, risky behavior or other distractions to momentarily feel better. Psychotherapy can help resolve these issues by creating a space to gain better coping strategies, enhance your focus of your place in the world, and develop greater resiliency.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
