I have over ten years of experience working with adults and teenagers with a wide range of concerns, such as: stress-management, depression, anxiety, under-performance in school/work, relationship problems, difficulty navigating a life transition, and a general lack of fulfillment and satisfaction with life. A particular focus I have is teaching people how to handle strong emotions that can get in their way. Such emotions can also lead to other struggles such as self-destructive behaviors, difficulty with decision-making, and interpersonal problems.

My relational approach is intended to help patients emotionally unfold.

Fear grabs a hold and won’t let go. Your chest tightens, making it hard to breathe. Triggers are everywhere. At any moment a memory can flash into your mind, consuming your attention and flooding you with terror. Certain sounds bring you back to that moment when time stood still. You can’t forget it. That fear locks you in. It prevents you from doing the things you used to enjoy. It stops you from achieving your goals and dreams in life. You’ve considered or tried traditional therapy, but don’t have the patience to wait weeks or months to make progress.

East meets West. It is a phrase we hear often but how does it translate into practice? The pull lies in the strength of the familiar; the push is an urge to create space and jump into the unfamiliar.

Your worries and anxieties impacting your quality of life, affecting your relationships, maybe even your physical health. At times, your emotions can become so overwhelming that you often avoid situations to feel better, but are later upset that you missed out. You can be so empathetic with others, but not so much with yourself and when asked how you're doing, your answer is never "Actually, I'm struggling" because you don't want anyone to think less of you or that you are weak. You are surrounded by people, yet isolated in your struggles because "stop worrying" or "just relax" are not the words that you need to hear.

You find yourself constantly feeling worried, anxious, maybe even self-critical. These feelings are now spilling over into your everyday life, affecting your relationships and muddying any clarity that you might have had about where you want to be. You're struggling with indecisiveness or having a really difficult time dealing with everyday stressors. Your mind and body's reactions make situations feel unmanageable. You want to alleviate your anxieties, become empowered and make changes that need to improve your life. But where do you start?

Here you are, taking on a new role with new responsibilities and having to adapt to an unexpected or new situation. You're struggling with these changes and experiencing a whole new range of emotions- sometimes anxiety, sometimes fear, other times self-doubt or depression. Your body is telling you that things aren't right and you can no longer deny that your relationships and self-confidence are not where you want them to be. You're tired of feeling drained due to lack of sleep and for once, you would like to stop feeling misunderstood. You know that it's time for a change, but not quite sure where to start.
