As a therapist, I have helped individuals, couples, and families find healing, understanding, compassion, and empathy. With encouragement and a bit of humor, I provide safe space for my clients to change their internal dialogues. In so changing, they can rewrite their stories with strength. Allow me to say that no one is deserving of suffering any place in life- at school, at work, at home, or in their relationships. Sometimes, we can experience challenges in life that occur so frequently, we begin to feel like this is how life is supposed to be for us. Ultimately, distrusting the good things, and anticipating the worse.

If you are reading this, then I imagine you have found yourself needing change. Perhaps you are exhausted by the daily anxiety that has you believe you are never safe, always questioning your place and relationships. Maybe you are finally ready to delve into past trauma, knowing it is time to dive into the unknown in the hopes to release its grip on your life. Relationship difficulties with family members or partners are at an all time high, and you find yourself needing support to learn how to communicate and be heard. Maybe you simply need a space to feel safe, supported, and learn how to breathe fully again.

I would be honored for the opportunity to work with clients who are willing to do the work it takes to begin to live a full and authentic life.

I’m passionate about serving women seeking love-love of self, love of others, and knowing it in their bones. I love helping women to learn to nurture themselves, accept they are important and that caring for and healing themselves is a political act of resistance and decolonization. I often work with First Gen women. Exploring what parents (from around the world) brought with them- traditions or practices, ways of thinking, or maybe intergenerational trauma can resonate. With some people we'll do a deep dive into changes to your lifestyle. Seeking therapy is a strength, an act of courage, a journey inward, outward, and forward.

New clients welcome in person and online - find the support you need and help with anxiety during this intense time. The combined experience of our therapists means expertise on a wide range of issues. Do you feel anxious, stuck and overwhelmed, battling a voice inside that says you are never good enough? Some part of you knows a change is needed but it feels like there's no one out there who gets it, gets you and could truly help. You need someone who knows what they are doing, is compassionate but also direct, not someone who just sits and nods.
