Is life overwhelming you lately? Wouldn't it be great if life was a never-ending vacation. Problems and bad days wouldn't exist and we would live over and over the best days of our life. With family, friends, work, relationships, our health... change is happening all around us. How is change impacting your life? Do you feel like you are overwhelmed? Do you feel like no one understands? Do you feel like people are trying to help but are really just making things worse?

Are you a high achiever? But despite how much you have accomplished, you still feel that you are hindered by low self-esteem? Do you often feel confused or ashamed when thinking about your childhood experiences? I understand how isolated you may feel when you are not able to get the help you need. Isolation leads to feelings of loneliness and that heavy feeling is such a huge burden to carry. Imagine working with a warm, compassionate, and validating therapist, who can hold your hand, while processing your childhood stories with you. Together, we make the unconscious conscious, and eventually, help you become your authentic self.

In each of my therapy sessions, I seek to give the right support for clients to talk about the things that really matter. I listen carefully and engage deeply so I can provide the feedback and reflection you need to find your path forward with more clarity and confidence. I use my knowledge and experience to help you connect the dots and realize you are not alone. I believe change comes in small steps and I'm here to support you and to celebrate every victory.

I work with issues of identity, addiction, trauma, grief and loss, depression, and anxiety disorders such as panic disorder and OCD. Behind all of these struggles, there is a story. I am interested in understanding not only the difficulties you feel inside but also the adversity you face outside, be it racial or gender related discrimination, maltreatment/abuse, betrayal, or experiencing isolation and misunderstanding. I also enjoy working with college and graduate students navigating adulthood and life transitions including break-ups and career changes.

Therapy offers an opportunity for cultivating safety, security, and steadiness within ourselves and in our relationships. Through a warm and patient presence, gentle curiosity, and deep compassion, I hope to offer you a sturdy container within which you can practice vulnerability and explore a full range of feelings. I hold an awareness that our pain, grief, anger, joy, and pleasure live in our bodies, and I believe paying attention to what happens in our bodies can increase our insight and agency. Integrating somatic and mindfulness practices into our work together supports this connection between body and mind.
