I invite couples, adolescents and adults to identify strengths, acknowledge challenges and develop strategies to solve a range of problems. We can explore ways to save and enhance your relationship. In the first session, I teach tools that you can use immediately to enhance your partnership, open the lines of communication and reconnect as a couple. If you are an overwhelmed parent, I can help you reach out to your teen by employing techniques that can be used in the moment. My professional experience encompasses coping with anxiety, managing chronic illness, grieving losses and achieving balance for an enriched life.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is central to a successful therapeutic experience. My approach is warm and I foster a sense of curiosity as I partner with clients to better understand themselves. I work with young adults with anxiety, mood disorders and low self-esteem who are exploring identity, goals, transitions and relationships but feel that there are patterns of thoughts and behaviors that are holding them back. I use mindfulness techniques and a psychodynamic approach to help clients develop effective coping strategies and a deeper understanding of the self.

People are often exposed to stressors and or traumatic events that at times can unravel emotions that seem to consume us. During these times it seems hard to find the light at the end of the tunnel. My passion is to help people find this light, to help heal from their past trauma and move forward. I assist my clients; school aged children and young adults in finding and changing their negative distortions and identifying their strengths in order to help achieve a peaceful, happy and whole perception of themselves.

I am a trained and certified EMDR therapist working with an intensive format, built to shrink treatment time in a world where interruptions and distractions can make weekly sessions difficult. I personalize less-frequent, longer sessions to cultivate an immersive and linear visit; a deliberate learning environment. I use an individualized approach based on emotional recognition, mindfulness, and strengths/values. I've also worked within the realms of performance psychology, which can play a supplemental role in treatment. I often draw from a variety of expressive therapies to channel the best form of communication.

If you are looking for a therapist who is knowledgeable, experienced, and affirming around LGBTQIA+ issues, you have come to the right place. I have an extensive background in supporting LGBTQIA+/queer clients working through depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, and identity. Maybe you're looking for someone who can help you decide what identity fits best and where to go from there. Maybe you need to talk to someone who understands the unique intersection of trauma and queer identity. Maybe you just need a therapist who understands what it means to be poly/kinky/queer. I'm glad you're here.

During difficult times in life, feelings of stress, nervousness or sadness can overwhelm us. At such times, having a compassionate ear to listen to us, validate our emotions and help us get in touch with our inner strengths and resilience can allow us to cope with these challenging times. A trusting therapeutic relationship can provide us just that. As a therapist, I support adults dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationship and identity issues. Having lived as an immigrant myself, I understand concerns around developing an identity in a new home while holding onto parts of our old selves.

I’m happy you’ve taken that first step and found your way here. I understand it’s not easy to seek out support. Therapy is unique to each person, but some themes I have noticed people are seeking out are an understanding of their emotions, an improved ability to cope and function and feeling more empowered about their individual situations. I also have an interest in and offer years of expertise supporting individuals around issues related to parenting, identity development, LBGTQIA+ identities and life transitions.

I am passionate about supporting my clients to feel congruent internally, so they can further understand and communicate their needs externally. I often utilize different strategies (of client’s choice), such as drawing, Zen tangle, meditation, body scan, dance/movement, to assist clients to have a better understanding of “what’s going on”. I worked with children, adolescents, and their families to overcome struggles around depression, anxiety, gender identity, emotion regulation and expression, dysfunctional family communication, parenting skills, traumas, and acculturation difficulties.

I'm inquisitive, thoughtful and thought-provoking; my clients often tease me about silly metaphors (see the pizza allegory on my website). All our work is personalized for you. As we work, we'll review and tweak together, so your therapy is both more satisfying and more effective.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
