Sometimes people seek therapy because of painful situations, or they're unclear about which path to take. Sometimes they're trying to overcome the effects of a difficult childhood. And sometimes they have a more biological problem - ADD, depression, mood swings - and want to lead a rich and satisfying life despite these problems.

Have you come to the point in your life where you desire to see a change? You've come to the right place. Begin your journey toward change, where you will have the opportunity to be heard, supported and encouraged to discover your own personal strength to achieve a sense of normalcy in your life. Come to an environment where you can feel free to express feelings of fear, insecurity, loneliness, anger, pain, sadness, etc. The time for change has come.....

It is my responsibility to provide an environment where my patients feel comfortable so that I can figure out what they need to get better and together we can understand what gets in the way. Patients who have been in therapy with other therapists often tell me that they find our work together to be more helpful. They find that I am a good listener and therefore I respond in ways that patients find meaningful.

My goal as a psychotherapist is to help you live a deliberate, self-actualized, and peaceful life. We all struggle with anxiety and depression at times. We push people away when we want them close, we act contrary to our best interest and don't know why. I can help illuminate patterns of behaviors and beliefs that impede your ability to reach your potential. Together, we can identify those invisible forces that drive your behavior and cause stagnation, pain, broken relationships, and missed opportunities. I take an anti-oppressive lens and provide space to explore the corrosive impact of external influences (ie: caste, race, gender)

Hello and welcome! Are you thinking about starting therapy? It can be daunting to find the best fit for you to improve your mental health. I am trained in a humanistic approach that is integrative, relational, dynamic, and client-centered. I blend appropriate modalities, including psychodynamics and mindfulness, shaping treatment to meet your needs and goals within a safe, respectful, and compassionate environment. My lifelong passion for poetry, photography, yoga, and meditation contributes to my empathy and open-mindedness for others.

Covid-19 has brought the world of mental health fragility to a new level never seen before. The isolation and loneliness felt by everyone from children to the elderly has caused a rise in depression, anxiety and fear regarding every day life and the future. These strains are unhealthy emotionally and physically and need attention to avoid lasting impressions. The working relationship in therapy is to define underlying issues, stuck thought patterns and transform negative behavior to evolve into a positive and thriving attitude and consequently, life choices. We will join together to create the life you desire, as I help guide you.

You are allowed to live a life that feels joyful, meaningful, and fulfilling. It may not always feel this way, but you are in fact capable of creating the life that you desire and that you deserve. Are you tired of feeling stuck? Are you curious about why you make certain choices? Do you want to make a change, but maybe don’t know where to start? Therapy will be a space for you to explore your personal experiences and gain awareness, develop agency and authenticity, and create the change you desire. There is bravery and strength in the ability to look inward, be honest and open, and dedicate yourself to your own well-being.

My work is dedicated to helping people improve their lives. I see adults with everyday struggles - issues with intimacy, challenges in romantic relationships as well as challenging relationships with family & friends, uncontrolled mood changes, depression, anxiety, as well as struggles in the work place - all of which play a role in undermining self esteem and self confidence.
