Thank you for taking this first step in therapy and self-growth. Starting is the most difficult part.If you're ready to explore, grow, and make positive changes, I'm here to support you on this journey. Together, we can work towards a better understanding of yourself and find effective strategies for feeling, thinking, and acting in ways that reflect your true potential. I gently encourage you to reach out when you're ready to take this step. I offer a sliding scale depending on your finances.
I offer personalized approaches to help clients overcome challenges like insomnia, chronic pain; general and social anxiety, eating disorders and/or depression. My expertise also extends to couples therapy, utilizing evidence based models to enhance communication and relationship dynamics. I have lived experience with anxiety and depression.
Drawing from my own journey as a person of faith; visible minority; child of immigrants; wife and mother: I bring deep empathy to my practice. Beyond being a seasoned therapist, I understand life's intricate layers and invite you to reach out for relatable, empowering and compassionate support.

I support individuals using techniques like CBT or SFBT to address issues such as insomnia, anxiety, depression, weight concerns, and grief. I also help couples with evidence-based methods. Improvements are often seen because therapy provides a personalized approach to understanding and managing challenges, offers new perspectives, teaches coping strategies, and promotes emotional healing.

For individuals, CBT or SFBT is used. For couples, Gottman is best (in my opinion). When we speak, we will explore what brought you to therapy and then decide most appropriate ways to help you make progress. We'll look at how your thoughts effect emotions and experience. During treatment, you will learn how to push back against unhelpful thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
