I specialize in trauma, acculturation issues, the immigrant experience, and multicultural identity development for adolescents, adults, and couples.
Psychotherapy is an intimately personal endeavor, that can provide a safe space for curiosity, exploration, and meaning-making of our lives and histories. I approach therapy through a relational psychodynamic lens, which means that I view mental health and well-being as being deeply interconnected with our relationships, experiences, and cultural identities. Each individual seeks therapy for unique reasons and carries a complex personal history, I tailor each treatment to meet your specific needs, goals, strengths, and cultural background.

Many people arrive here simply knowing something hasn’t fully settled — feeling stuck or disconnected despite insight and effort. You may have some things that help but still struggle to feel a lasting shift or change. Together, we’ll uncover and transform the patterns beneath anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship struggles. This work focuses on creating clarity, momentum, and meaningful change from the inside out, using current science-based therapy grounded in neuroplasticity — the brain and body’s natural capacity to heal and adapt.

I use a warm, down-to-earth approach in my work with children, teens, adults and couples.
My approach is flexible. Growth can mean improving communication and emotional expression or gaining insight into the impact of the past on current situations. Other times, we just need practical advice. I also incorporate expressive arts, identity and spiritual development, narrative therapy, and project-oriented activities as catalysts for healing.

You suspected it for months. Then, your worst fears were confirmed. Your partner had been having an affair. At first, you couldn’t believe it. You thought your marriage was okay. Why would they do this? HOW did they do this without your seeing it? The unanswered questions left an incalculable void in your gut, as sadness and anger combined with the endless questions and disbelief. One moment you’re numb, the next you’re furious – wondering how the person you trusted most could betray you so profoundly. Your partner may be remorseful, but the wounds run raw, and the triggers seem endless. You don’t know if your marriage can survive.

Helping people maximize their individual potential is a never-ending source of satisfaction.

I also enjoy helping people find a balance between the demands of work, self, spirit and family.

I have worked as a psychotherapist for over 30 years with adults, couples and adolescents.
People turn to therapy when they are in too much emotional pain, stuck in intractable situations with intimate partners or at work, or acting in ways that are self-destructive or harmful to others. When other solutions have not worked, therapy offers a chance to address and change outmoded ways of being. The therapeutic relationship is key to this work. It offers the possibility of exploring new ways of relating to ourselves and others that can lead to a richer and more fulfilling life. The therapist must provide a place of safety and be a partner in this process.

My clients are adults, adolescents, and couples who feel stuck in patterns they can't think their way out of — anxiety that won't quiet, grief that lingers, relationships that keep hitting the same wall, or a deep disconnection from themselves and their bodies.
I offer body-centered therapy for complex trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and relational pain. My modalities are Relational Somatic Healing — rooted in the healing power of the therapeutic relationship — and EMDR. This work is grounded in my personal practice of Vipassana, yoga, Contact Improvisation, Authentic Movement, and Indigenous wisdom.
