If you feel emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected from who you are, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. I work with professionals navigating stress, identity struggles, and major life transitions to find clarity, healing, and renewed purpose. My approach combines psychodynamic therapy and ISTDP to uncover what’s beneath the surface and support lasting change. Treatment is holistic and tailored, blending therapy, medication, nutraceuticals, and lifestyle tools to help you feel more grounded and whole.
Therapy with me is active, collaborative, and emotionally focused. I work best with clients who are curious, reflective, and ready to dig deep—even if that feels scary. Together, we’ll make sense of the emotional roots beneath anxiety, depression, trauma, or identity concerns, and help you build a more grounded, authentic relationship with yourself.
This work is deeply personal to me. My experiences with loss, trauma, and cultural barriers in mental health care have shaped my commitment to bridging these gaps with compassion. I trained at UC Davis and Providence Sacred Heart, with additional expertise from the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine.
