Life can feel overwhelming when past experiences continue to show up as anxiety, stress, or emotional exhaustion. You may notice patterns that don’t make sense, feel stuck in survival mode, or carry a heaviness you can’t quite name. Therapy offers a space to slow down, understand what’s beneath the surface, and begin responding to life with more clarity and self-compassion. You don’t have to navigate difficult seasons alone—healing is possible, and support can make the path forward feel more steady and manageable.

Whether you’re experiencing relationship difficulties, managing a mental health condition, coping with the loss of a loved one, or facing other personal struggles, know that healing is possible.
I also provide psychological evaluations for immigration cases and specialize in improving relationships. Healing often starts with learning to love and forgive ourselves.

I specialize in couples therapy and relational work. Over time, many relationships settle into roles that create distance—over-functioning, conflict avoidance, gridlock, keeping score, walking on eggshells, or shutting down to cope. I support couples navigating parenting transitions, neurodivergence (ADHD/autism), military life, addiction recovery, and betrayal, with a focus on rebuilding communication, trust, and closeness. I also work with individuals facing relationship stress, trauma, burnout, and identity shifts.
