Giving yourself a space dedicated to self-reflection is so helpful. I work with adolescents, often highly accomplished adults, and couples in my practice. I help clients meet their own goals by building a strong relationship, encouraging reflection, and exploring alternatives. I am warm, engaging, and well trained. In my work with clients, we look at the influence of a client's family-of-origin, their current stressors and challenges, and the relationship that unfold between the client and myself. I assist my clients to work through their challenges, so they have more choices to live a more authentic life.

Are you feeling anxious and overwhelmed feeling like the weight of the world is on your shoulders? Are you struggling with challenging relationships? It makes sense that you would need support. Imagine if you didn't have to feel this way. It can be a challenge but it is possible to feel more at ease, more confident setting boundaries and carve out the time you need for yourself. Over time, you can change how you feel and what you believe about yourself and the world.

I work with adults and couples using a relational approach that emphasizes connection: being seen, heard, and valued for who you are and where you are in your journey. My goal is to create a welcoming, nurturing, non-judgmental space where you feel safe to share your needs and explore the factors and patterns that may be impacting your quality of life. As an immigrant, I am particularly sensitive to the many ways different people show vulnerability, and strive to take multicultural, interpersonal, and contextual factors into account in order to get to know the multiple identities forming our whole selves.

I have been in practice for over 25 years and bring a blend of specialized training and personal experience. I also believe humor is an important aspect of treatment and recovery. I have thousands of hours of training in trauma-related treatment (PTSD, rape trauma, domestic violence) and anxiety disorders. I believe each person is unique so their treatment should be unique. It is a collaborative effort between the clients and me to help clients achieve their goals.

The Therapist for People Who Don't Like Therapy... My biggest goal in therapy is to get you out of my office and back into your life! With that said, I have found that most people, at some point in their life, could benefit from some professional listening and feedback. Our friends and family are great sources of support, but are often too closely involved to provide the kind of unbiased perspective that we need to help us out of a rut or to enact the true change that we really desire.

Becoming a mom may not be what you expected. Sometimes the process of conceiving, the birthing experience, or having a child can lead to feelings of overwhelm, guilt, anxiety, irritability, grief, depression or other unexpected and unwanted experiences. Therapy is a positive way to both prevent or strengthen mental health for moms, baby, and all members of the family.

Let’s be real, looking for a therapist can be overwhelming. Lots of scrolling through profiles, reading countless bios, and not knowing where to start. And yet you still pursue it. To me, that shows an incredible amount of strength, resiliency, motivation, and a readiness for change. In my practice, I come from a collaborative, empathetic, humorous, and supportive approach, as I aim to listen and adapt to each individual’s or couple’s therapeutic goals.

Like Riley in the "Inside Out" movies, many of us struggle to balance the feelings, thoughts and sensations arising day in and day out, whether we are by ourselves, among colleagues or strangers, with friends or family. An impulse may drive us to act in a certain way, but another voice criticizes our choices, while yet another part secretly fears something bad will happen whatever we do; and these thoughts are linked to sensations of unease in our bodies. We seek meaning in outer accomplishments, yet when there is tension between different parts of ourselves, we often end up feeling dissatisfied no matter how successful we appear.
