You find yourself successful in many aspects of your life- you have a great career, loving friends, a wonderful family. And yet, there is something which still feels “off” or “gray” about the world. You find yourself stuck in monotonous routine or lifestyle with little or no sense of fulfillment or purpose. It’s left you feeling depressed and constantly overthinking. You know these thoughts and feelings are “irrational” but they don’t seem to go away and you don’t know what to do about it. You’re stuck.

I believe that change can happen when you least expect it, and therapy is a wonderful way to look at what is holding you back and understand yourself. I bring an empathic, caring persona to the therapeutic process and believe that the relationship developed in therapy is a powerful tool for insight and growth. I have witnessed many patients develop an increased capacity for self-reflection and apply skills learned in therapy to creating a more fulfilled life. My 15 years of experience in the social services field greatly informs my work.

Are you looking for a directive therapist who actively engages with you to make impactful changes? You’ve realized something isn't working, but you feel like you've tried everything to get unstuck. Maybe you're someone who struggles to ignore that voice in your head that’s constantly telling you how everything "should" be . The one always that’s always judging where you are and what you’re doing. The voice that tells you to work harder, do more, be better...but no matter what you do, it’s never enough. I help my clients learn how to quiet that voice so that they can lead more present, satisfying lives.

Psychologist, PsyD

Most of my clients reach out because they recognize there is something interfering with their ability to function effectively and/or enjoy their daily life. They may or may not have insights into what the issues are, but they usually seek out therapy because they are not sure what to do. No one likes to feel depressed, anxious, stressed or out of place all the time. My work is to help my clients gain clarity and develop the necessary skills so they can restore or improve their level of functioning and well-being.

Therapy can be Fun, Exciting, and Inspiring. (I get back to everyone within 16 hours.) You're hesitant since it's your first time in therapy; perhaps you have given up hope. You feel empty, hopeless, and hallow. Every day is a struggle due to anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Maybe you have past family trauma. Maybe there are cultural confines that have made you feel shackled and lost. I help people who are dealing with depression and anxiety experience a sense purpose by helping them find the voice that they never knew they had so that they can be more self-supportive.

As a person recovered from substance abuse and mental health challenges of my own, I have dedicated myself to finding more ways to help others find meaning and direction as the leaders and heroes of their own journey in life. I seek to enrich my perspective with many psychological tools and frameworks as well as different philosophical perspectives on life. I know the most important thing in working with a client is to allow them the agency and autonomy to guide their healing process, and to this end I have sought to study as many modalities as I can in order to remain well equipped in finding the best tools to offer each client.

Growing up, I have realized that there is a lack of communication, representation, and awareness of the importance of mental health in many Middle-Eastern, Latinx, and Asian households. This leads to many individuals in those cultures becoming oppressed throughout their whole life and experiencing many untreated phases of depression and anxiety without having the opportunity to be heard.

Have you ever had the thought that you can’t remember what it’s like to NOT feel anxious? Does your mind continuously operate on overdrive? Are you tired of the same repetitive thought patterns? Is life feeling like one endless chore with no light at the end of the tunnel? Have you ever told yourself you know you need to make a change, but you can't muster the will power to follow through? Do you feel stuck in your relationship patterns but don't know what or how to change? If you answered yes to any of the above, we might be a great match. I believe that great therapy involves using many lenses or frameworks in order to heal.

Active Imagination and non-directive guided imagery can help you access inner wisdom and gain insight. While the thinking, rational mind is essential for everyday concerns and problem-solving, its usefulness is limited regarding questions of meaning, value, and depth. Active Imagination constructively channels the psyche's innate creative power. When we tap into the wellspring of the visionary imagination, we feel an enlivened sense of meaning, purpose, and connection.
