I view therapy as something that is necessary for mental wellness; a process that can be useful at different life stages, or during certain periods of high stress. I enjoy helping others navigate through the various challenges that life often brings. I work with adolescents and adults struggling mainly with anxiety, depression, and/or stress.

Are you Asian American and achieved all that you've been raised to accomplish? You've reached career success and now what? Have you been struggling to feel happy? If you're a child of immigrants, you were taught to have a driven work ethic and to achieve all that your parents wanted for you. Less so were you taught how to be happy, how to know yourself fully, balance personal desires vs. familial obligations, and cope with emotional and relational stress. Are you noticing patterns in your family that have been passed down through generations? Are you ready to heal these wounds?

There are a million things that make you the person you are, and finding a therapist who sees and understands your dimensions can feel like an altogether daunting task. I meet every one of my clients on an individual level with warmth, openness, and respect. I work to cultivate a space where anybody can come as they are, with a specific focus on the LGBTQIA+ community.

As a Jewish American therapist, I place the intersections of identity at the forefront of my practice because identity frames who we are and how we experience the world. Additionally, adults of Childhood Sexual Abuse know it can negatively impact every area of your life. This type of trauma can lead to isolation, guilt, shame, sexual problems, depression, anxiety, relationship troubles and so much more. It is time to take back your life. I can help you break free from the hold your past abuse still has on you today. Together we can explore new interventions and tools, develop new skills and rewrite your narrative. You deserve this!

We all have the potential to change and grow into a better, more satisfied version of ourselves. My goal is to help you identify how you want to live and the blocks that are preventing you from getting there. My approach is interactive: I create a judgment-free zone in which you can explore the issues that are causing you stress, unhappiness or frustration.

All of us have the basic needs of connection, validation, and support within a trusted relationship. Many of us wrestle with our past mistakes or trauma in the form of depression, or worry about the uncertainty of the future in the form of anxiety, or simply want help navigating the complex modern world. As a therapist with years of diverse experiences, I believe I can help a variety of clients, from children ages 10 and up to adolescents, and adults.

I provide somatic therapy to adults who experienced child abuse, or childhood emotional neglect. Abuse comes in many forms—physical, sexual, emotional—and your experience may be a combination of these. Many of my clients wouldn't necessarily say that they were abused, but they grew up in extremely dysfunctional families, with parents who were emotionally volatile, immature, or abusing substances (or some combination of these). If you grew up in this kind of family, you may struggle with chronic anxiety, poor sense of self, people-pleasing, and difficulty feeling safe in relationships. I'm hear to help you with those issues.

Therapy is about holding space for ALL of our experience. We do this through the wisdom of the body and the right brain, the emotional and creative brain. Leading trauma experts agree that we need to heal in collaboration with this intuitive, expressive part of ourselves. So in addition to traditional talk therapy, let's explore what you need through guided visualization, breath work, body talk, creative expression, role play, inner child work, and more. It all starts with your willingness to get to know all parts of you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and EMDR-trained therapist accepting individuals and families for therapy. I strive to create a space where people feel comfortable expressing themselves honestly and it’s possible to better understand, navigate, and heal from challenging experiences over time. It's important to me to acknowledge the impact of socioeconomic and historical conditions on people’s lives. I am particularly committed to supporting people of color and others from marginalized communities to overcome trauma and hardships, and to experience more joy, love, and fulfillment in their lives.

I am a clinical psychologist who combines my 30 years’ experience in learning disabilities, executive skill assessment, and psychotherapy to help children, teens and parents figure out solutions to school related difficulties. Coping with school frustration often leads to anxiety and so my psychotherapy practice includes treatment of anxiety disorders and parent support. I provide consultations and neuropsychological assessments for parents seeking a clearer understanding of their child's learning and social emotional needs. I also use humor and customized interventions in treating children and adults.

Working for two decades with individuals and couples has continually shown me the value of therapy, and I have abundant respect for the courage it takes to seek help. I integrate relational, mindfulness, EFT, IFS and other talk therapy perspectives and, when it feels right for my clients, EMDR and Somatic Experiencing. These latter two modalities address trauma as well as many other areas of life. A certified EMDR consultant, I facilitate trainings and provide individual/group supervision for fellow therapists working with EMDR.

Are you struggling with issues related to infertility? Have you had pregnancy losses? Are you tired of the waiting and all of the appointments? I work with women in all parts of their fertility journey (from the beginning of learning about challenges and options, those going through treatments, those recovering from loss and more). Fertility struggles can cause a range of negative emotions and issues such as anxiety, anger, grief, guilt, blame, uncertainty and many more. Your mind has such a great impact on your body and your fertility. I love providing support and emotional tools for women going through their fertility journey.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with the commitments you have in your life? Trying to balance it all while ensuring you consider yourself too?

Psychotherapy offers a way to identify one’s thoughts, feelings and behaviors that result from life's naturally occurring challenges. This collaborative work encourages self-awareness and development of new ways of being. While I work with people seeking therapy for a variety of reasons, my specialties include mood disorders, relationship issues, and chronic illness/pain disorders. I integrate motivational, cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based approaches to help each person meet their goals. I also utilize a harm reduction framework to help individuals explore their substance use and identify opportunities for change.

My goal is to create a space for you to feel deeply understood. I believe that compassionate connection is the foundation of healing and understand that it takes a great deal of courage and trust to engage in therapy. During the process of psychotherapy, I will help you to uncover your strengths, better understand the factors that may contribute to destructive behaviors, and articulate the thoughts, feelings, and memories that may be keeping you stuck in patterns that no longer serve you.

I believe it’s a privilege to be part of a process that helps clients identify strategies that can lead to a more fulfilling life and uncover a greater sense of freedom and agency. I believe that therapy must involve exploring and integrating clients’ cultural context and identities in understanding their lived experiences and addressing their concerns. I have extensive experience working collaboratively with clients of diverse backgrounds to identify goals of treatment and explore meaningful, culturally relevant, psychodynamic and other innovative evidence-based interventions.
