Growing up around therapy, I loved the idea of walking with people through their difficult journeys. Life is both beautiful and challenging, and as a therapist, I help people manage the challenging parts so they can fully experience the beautiful ones. Building relationships for a living is incredibly fulfilling. I believe therapy doesn't need to feel intense, sad, or scary. I bring fun and humor into my sessions to make them lively and comfortable. I work hard to create a judgment-free space where you feel seen, heard, and not judged. At NOCD, my team and I specialize in providing evidence-based treatment for OCD.

Welcome! I have been providing counseling to families from diverse backgrounds for nearly a decade. My clinical training has been primarily working with children/teens who are experiencing difficulty managing their emotions, resulting in loss of temper, dysregulation, or withdrawing from others. I provide individual and family services to improve functioning at school/home, improve their relationships with family, and support emotional growth. In addition, I provide individual therapy for adults to process relationship conflicts and trauma. I offer telehealth and office sessions.

Welcome to my healing space. If you have arrived here you’re likely seeking some relief of difficult symptoms. I can work with you to find the unconscious reasons for your suffering. Our mind-body connection uses anxiety and depression to call us to action for necessary changes in our lives. Sometimes these messages get clouded by our childhood and personal histories that made it feel unsafe to share difficult emotions or even bring them to consciousness! Working together with a depth therapy lens, we can decode what the uncomfortable symptoms are trying to communicate, towards rejoining the life path of your personal fulfillment.

Are you self-critical? Do you worry about others judging you? You wish your life was different. You are constantly on the go, juggling two or three things at the same time including the help you offer others because you can’t stop yourself. What will others say to your “No’s, what would they think of you? You fear their judgment. Sometimes, you just want to be left alone. You sometimes snap at people you love and then feel guilty. You don’t enjoy life like you used to. Where is the motivation you had before? I will help you ease self-doubt, feel more confident, and have healthier relationships.

I have always wanted to help people overcome their difficulties, struggles, and trauma. I’ve seen anxiety and depression among friends and family, and I know how challenging it can be to seek help. While I haven't been diagnosed with OCD, I’ve experienced anxiety and understand the struggle of fear and worry. At NOCD, my team and I specialize in evidence-based treatment for OCD. Our deep understanding of its nuances enables us to properly diagnose and treat it.

I don't know what brings you, but I know that it can take a lot of courage to reach out for support. Therapy is a powerful statement to yourself that you, your relationship and your family matters. The heart of my work revolves around assisting you in the journey of your choosing. Often I am supporting people who are interested in uncovering and unlearning painful negative beliefs about themselves. So often we have internalized a harmful message early in life -I'm bad. I'm not good enough. My needs don't matter. Together we can process the events that led to those beliefs and find the self-love and compassion to heal.

You’ve always considered yourself someone who works well under pressure. Stress was never an obstacle – in fact, it motivated you to be better. You were unstoppable and could handle any challenge that came your way. But lately, something has changed. Now, you find yourself unable to shrug off concerns like you have in the past. You lay in bed at night, restless, mind racing. You’re tired and unfocused at work, making mistakes you’ve never made before. You’ve long sacrificed your personal relationships in favor of professional advancement. But now you’re wondering what any of that was for. You know something has to change, but how?

I specialize in helping people who are socially attuned to others' needs to the point that they may lose themselves. Working together, my clients build confidence & a stronger sense of self that helps them negotiate conflicting roles and identities. This can involve processing sadness and frustration, which unlocks new sources of connection, happiness, & focus in their personal and work lives. In my time at Caltech, I worked with high achievers navigating complex expectations. As we assess values & sources of joy, my clients develop a stronger understanding of what fulfills them, & where and with whom they want to devote their time.

I wouldn’t claim to know a thing about you, your life, or what you've been through, but my firm belief, backed by science, is that despite what you might have learned or been told; you are not broken. Quite the opposite in fact... Still here? OK, I'll be quick!

There is no "one size fits all" approach when it comes to therapy. You decide what you need from of our time together. Perhaps, for now, you're curious. This is where we start. I aim to strike a balance between a direct and challenging therapeutic space with warmth, compassion, and a sense of humor when appropriate. I provide space for clients to explore and "connect the dots" openly and free of judgment. Together we will work to make the unconscious more conscious expanding and deepening your understanding of yourself and putting you more in touch with your hopes, your dreams, and desires.
