You may be a highly educated and successful person who struggles with perfectionism, social anxiety, or impostor syndrome (doubting your accomplishments; fearing being seen as a fraud). You may be experiencing instability due to occupational stress and trauma, feeling uncertain about the future and relationships. And you may be a person of color, a child of immigrants or geographically separated from your family and other support systems. I work to understand your story, and together we develop a plan to address the goals that you have for improving your quality of life.
My philosophy is based on the premise that all people possess an inner strength, and that therapy helps by accessing this natural resource. I believe that it is a sign of courage to seek counseling and have seen the curative benefits in my clients. My areas of expertise include occupational stress and trauma, depression, anxiety, addiction, and grief.
My approach is highly interactive, as I listen actively and pose questions that guide you to expand your way of thinking. Anxiety, overwhelm, self-doubt — they create a constant inner hum. I teach clients how to turn down the volume and tune into their true needs. Please contact me for a free 15-minute consultation.

"
I often use Internal Family Systems Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and the most appropriate therapy goals. With IFS, we'll look at the parts of yourself that have been helpful in making you successful and the ones that may be critical or hold you back. During treatment you will learn how to embrace the parts and restore trust in yourself.
