I approach therapy with a psychodynamic perspective. This means that I believe that we are all impacted and shaped by the stories we tell ourselves unconsciously- which in turn, informs our views about the world, our relationships, and ourselves. However, with increased awareness, this framework also states that we can change maladaptive stories we may have previously believed were set in stone. My ultimate goal as a therapist is to facilitate such change. Also, in order to adequately meet each individual's needs, I use an eclectic approach to treatment -drawing from supportive-expressive ideals as well as CBT, DBT, CTT, and CPT.

Therapy - all of us have our own definition, belief, opinion, or awareness as to what the journey entails. Whether this is your very first therapy experience or you are simply looking for a new therapist, you hold your own idea of what therapy is. Our world is filled with a colossal amount of uncertainty, which can lead us to feeling stressed, disconnected, and unable to access our truest selves. I believe that through therapy, the uncertainty can become more approachable, which allows us to unveil our genuine form and live a fuller life. No matter what therapy means to you, it focuses on the future you, uncertainty and all.

My experience in working with clients has taught me that I am not the perfect therapist for everyone. I use metaphors and my writing background to help clients view their worlds in a different way. I have trained with EMDR and utilize it with clients to assist in managing trauma. I have worked with clients struggling with addictions of many kinds, and I utilize ACT and narrative therapy on a regular basis.

I strive to create a trusting bond with each of my clients as we work collaboratively to address specific needs and explore optimal goals. I combine aspects from psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and culturally sensitive perspectives to help my clients through challenges they are facing while better appreciating who they are. Together, my patients and I will explore the stories and struggles that have shaped them including early familial attachments, traumas, and multigenerational patterns that have had great impact on the present day.

My ideal client is introspective and motivated to achieve deeper self-understanding. I believe that acknowledging the impact of early childhood experiences and relational patterns on our mental health is fundamental to effective therapy. My ideal client isn’t simply seeking a “quick fix” but is willing to delve into the deeper, often unconscious, aspects of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. They are open-minded and willing to consider new interpretations and perspectives about themselves and their challenges. They are committed to a collaborative therapeutic journey and understand that meaningful change takes time & effort.

Tired of reading Psychology Today profiles? Feel like therapy doesn't "work" for you? We may be a good fit. Therapy is more than just what happens in a therapy session. Therapy is a state of being; a mindset of flexibility, curiosity, and empowerment. Therapy is the noble task of courageously moving toward difficult feelings instead of avoiding them, a process of undoing shame and fear that have held you back from knowing yourself. My style is relaxed and natural, not forced or artificial. I want to understand who you really are, on your terms.

Do you ever feel misunderstood, alone, or overwhelmed by your daily responsibilities? Therapy can be a great way to learn to build coping skills for your anxiety, depression, or any other mental health challenges you may be facing. Therapy can also help you set goals, work on boundary setting, communication skills, and processing past events that have left lasting marks in current relationships. It's important that I provide a safe space for my clients to express their feelings, needs, and wants to an unbiased person (me, the counselor) and that I can offer feedback that challenges them to grow and heal!

My ideal client would be someone who is open to expressive therapies when words are not enough. Goals ranging from increasing coping skills and self-acceptance to crisis intervention, I believe that connection is one of the most important factors in the therapy setting and clients would want to partner together in healing.

We often feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck in cycles of dysfunction in our lives. We allow emotions to choose our day and give away our power to unhelpful thinking. Therapy offers us a safe place of refuge, validation, and hope apart from our uncertain circumstances. The therapist and client develop a mutually respectful and healthy relationship built from developed trust and compassion. Within this domain, my goal is to deepen your insight, self-awareness, and help you practice kindness accepting that which is truly you. Together we will consider healthy perspectives and identify patterns that perpetuate unhelpful cycles.

I help people struggling with anxiety, trauma, life transitions and stress to heal from the past and experience peace and fulfillment in the present.

I have experience working with children, teens and adults from diverse backgrounds, and I enjoy working with LGBTQ+ folks, immigrants, parents, and creatives.

Every day feels like a rollercoaster of worry, and you’re stuck in a cycle of seeking relief in distractions? You’ve poured everything into helping loved ones, only to hit a frustrating wall? Your mind is a battleground of conflicting thoughts, making decisions and changes seems not worth the fight? Tasks pile up, and the idea of starting to tackle them is overwhelming you? Wearing a mask, even with yourself, becomes a necessity to feel somewhat okay? Strong emotions trigger panic or self-harm, and the pain or numbness feels easier in the dark places? Things you used to love no longer bring joy, and even laughter feels empty?
