The therapeutic relationship will provide you with space and a compassionate presence, serving as a container for you to truly unfold. Through greater self-awareness comes greater clarity and the ability to make better choices.

I believe the most important relationship we have is with ourselves and I work from an integrated approach including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Attachment theory to explore the client’s core beliefs and rewrite harmful narratives that have formed in childhood or adulthood to facilitate increased self-esteem and confidence.
At times, we may face challenges which can leave us feeling overwhelmed, confused, and alone. I will meet you where you are and highlight your strengths as we work together to identify patterns or behaviors that are not serving you. I understand that everyone’s therapeutic journey is different and offer personalized care and coaching as you pursue the changes that you want to see in your life. I work well with individuals and couples who seek to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression and learn healthy coping mechanisms in aiming to foster personal growth, as well as developing healthier interpersonal relationships.

In a rapidly changing and evolving world, it may sometimes feel challenging to preserve your peace and strength. Therapy is the choice to slow down and give yourself time to reflect on what parts of yourself need compassion, acceptance, or movement to change. My aim is to empathetically and non judgmentally align with you to enliven your purpose and desires. I utilize the therapeutic relationship to foster connection and explore resiliency and attunement with the self. In working with adolescent and adult clients, I meet you where you are respectfully and provide support to help you grow towards personal goals.

I also specialize in therapy that focuses on the relationship between the child and parents.
My therapeutic approach mainly focuses on helping my clients identify their strengths to help alleviate anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am a firm believer that our childhood experiences contribute to our beliefs, behavioral patterns, and selecting a romantic partner . Therapy is a process! To allow ourselves to be intimate and vulnerable with someone about our experiences and trauma can be daunting. As a therapist, it is my goal to help validate, create a safe environment and help understand aspects of lived experiences.

I tend to create a friendly yet professional relationship with my clients and I strive to create a comfortable space for my clients to open-up at their own time.
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.

Relationship issues exist both in and outside the bedroom. Sex is a topic that is often met with secrecy, embarrassment, or shame. Throughout the course of our lives, we are influenced by cultural and societal messaging about what is and is not acceptable. When something is wrong in our relationships, the weight of judgement leads us to live in quiet desperation rather than seek help. I am dedicated to cultivating a safe and accepting environment for my clients to discover more about their sexuality, transform it into what they want, and affirm who they are.

I love helping couples (new and veteran) discover the underlying needs below their too-frequent bickering (read: fighting). It's magic when clients begin to see each other and communicate in new ways. I'm also passionate about helping individuals find new tools for navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, and BPD. There's nothing better than a client reporting that skills we practiced in session helped them find relief. Another speciality I have is supporting women (and their partners) with all things perinatal: infertility, miscarriage, maternal mental health, and parenting challenges. It really takes a village.

While I enjoy working with all adults, my specific clinical interests include working with couples , co-parenting, entertainment professionals, and new and expecting mothers.
I believe that growth is a balance of tackling our short-term challenges while uncovering their long-term patterns and origins. I consider it a privilege to work alongside my clients and find out what is possible when we make the decision to explore and evolve. My approach is tailored to each individual and their goals, but I center my work around a psychodynamic approach that incorporates mindfulness-based stress reduction, somatic therapy, attachment theory, and family systems.

Do you feel so overwhelmed by your emotions that you no longer can tell if you control them or if they control you? Or do you feel unhappy, lonely or tired of getting into arguments with your spouse . Are you feeling frustrated when you aren’t feeling like yourself- worried, sad, or unmotivated? Depression, stress, and anxiety can affect everything from work to relationships, not meeting goals, or even trouble completing daily tasks. Sometimes it can be challenging to understand ‘why’ or what is causing the anxious feelings. Other times our relationship takes a toll and it can be challenging to communicate with our partner .

Couples Counseling Therapists

Does couples counseling work?

Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?

Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?

The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?

The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
