Bring your intention for positive change. I'll bring my background in relational psychoanalysis, AEDP, behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. Together we'll create a therapy experience that is uniquely yours. You'll gain a broader view of yourself and the things that hold you back, witness them from a different perspective that is already within you, and develop your ability to live life with more self-awareness, joy and clarity.

Are you seeking to enhance your happiness or prosperity? Do you find that your rational thoughts conflict with your emotional responses? Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, or struggling in your relationships? Is OCD creating obstacles? Are you facing issues with alcohol? I provide a gentle method for uncovering your genuine and empowered self. Rather than seeking a cure, life can be managed, explored and comprehended. We can learn to listen, be effective and meet our needs. Leadership and transformation require intention and attention. It may be time to explore your emotional well-being, and take charge of your life.

Are you struggling with low self-esteem, feelings of not being good enough, or preoccupied with pleasing others? Do you feel like you don’t belong, or are haunted by childhood trauma?

Together, we will build your self-love, boost motivation, and strengthen confidence, empowering you to fully embrace life.

Are you looking for a therapist who can help you feel more authentic and connected in your life? I have over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults helping manage emotions, improve relationships, and overcome traumas. My role is to help you discover your inner wisdom, strengths, and resilience through a collaborative and compassionate style that emphasizes safety, curiosity, and empowerment. Together, we will explore your emotions and patterns of behavior in a non-judgmental and supportive space.

I specialize in helping people who are experiencing anxiety, depression and relationship problems. In addition, I work with those struggling with career issues that are often caused by difficulty managing extreme stress effectively. When we strengthen resilience, we are able to experience growth and create positive changes in our lives. This journey is not always easy but much can be accomplished when the client feels supported and the process is collaborative. My clients and I know we are on the right track when they recognize improvement in their mood, interpersonal relationships or achieve their career goals.

Stacey brings 12+ years experience and has advanced training in AEDP, a healing-oriented, mind-body approach that is relational, emotion-focused and experiential. AEDP has shown to be effective with depression, general psychological distress, interpersonal issues, negative thoughts and emotion dysregulation, as well as with enhancing self-compassion, self-esteem and well-being. Stacey’s practice is most influenced by AEDP and a trauma-healing model called CSRT. Both may be used to treat attachment/relational trauma and related issues that stem from one’s earlier years.

No matter how much you get done, nothing feels like enough. As time has gone on maybe you've actually become less productive, no matter how hard you try to get organized. You just don't feel like yourself - you're tired, easily brought to tears, and are feeling insecure. Maybe you've had a difficult past. Sometimes, it's easier not to remember. You struggle with feeling understood, and connecting to people on a deep level. Relationships feel confusing and difficult. You wonder if you'll ever be able to heal.

My priority in therapy is to help you better understand your emotions and what drives them, in order to make decisions that align with who you are. As a child of immigrants, I understand the challenging experience of growing up with social and parental pressures that contradict each other. For this reason, I thoroughly enjoy working with South Asian and POC adolescents and adults who have had similar challenges in navigating life amidst various external expectations. If you are grappling with anxiety, self-criticism, relationship challenges, or uncertainty in making significant life decisions, I am here to help you through it!

At heart, psychotherapy is a statement: "I am worth it." When you commit to psychotherapy with me you are saying: "My concerns are worth focusing on. It is worth it to build better relationships. It is worth it to confront the issues that keep me from living the life I want and am ready for."

I specialize in anxiety, insomnia and life purpose because they’re challenges I’ve personally overcome. I help people find the exit ramp out of anxiety. I understand how much the race for external validation has cost you. Living in repeating cycles of overwhelm, avoiding, then shaming yourself for it. You wonder if you have to live with the physical symptoms and insomnia forever. And the highest cost of all – you never got to know yourself. Paradoxically, your anxiety is actually a flashing signal to change. Work with me and discover the way back to you. And, if it feels like chronic insomnia has taken over your life, there’s hope.

I believe in a therapeutic process that is collaborative and flexible — meeting my clients where they are to foster meaningful growth and change. I approach therapy with warmth, compassion, and honest reflection to create a non-judgmental space for self-exploration. I am passionate about working with individuals and couples who are experiencing emotional struggles, low self-esteem, transitional and relationship issues, and attachment injuries. My aim is to collaboratively help you understand patterns in which you feel stuck, find relief from narratives that are no longer yours, and learn how to move towards towards your goals.

Are you ready to make some changes in your relationship? Do you wish you could break the cycle of undesirable behaviors? Whether you are facing a crisis or seeking new coping strategies, I can provide a safe, collaborative environment to understand and change behaviors that get in the way of achieving your goals and a happier life. I am an experienced psychotherapist who has worked with adults of all ages dealing with relationship problems, life adjustment, eating disorders, weight/body image issues, mood disorders, addictive disorders, acute/chronic illness and work problems/conflicts.

Are you living the life you want? Stuck or unsatisfied in your relationships? Tired and depleted? Maybe you have friends, but find yourself wondering who you would really call in the middle of the night. Or your romantic relationship feels stuck, like you are repeating the same pattern over and over. We all know that deeper connection and intimacy are necessary for a more satisfying life, yet we feel that we are not getting what we need or want. Or maybe your pain is related to your job. You are working hard but not getting the recognition you crave. For many of us, we feel depleted or anxious and don't fully understand why.
