As human beings we spend a lot of time looking to bring ourselves fulfillment, happiness, and connection. Sometimes though we may feel that these are unattainable due to our self-doubts, anxieties, traumas, and fears that tell us that we aren’t deserving of these things. However I am here to tell you that you are not a sum of your experiences, you are not the core of the issue that plagues you, and you do deserve what we are all striving to attain. I believe that your true strengths lie within, whether they are buried beneath the weight of your pain or working diligently behind the scenes to get you to where you are today.

I use an in-depth focus that has a practical application. I understand past and present difficulties within the context of family relationships. I think of each person as dynamic and changeable. When a person comes to me for help, I understand that person to be stuck in ways that are out of their conscious awareness. Work and/or relationship functioning can easily be blocked or limited. Changing is complex and requires the assistance of a skilled and caring professional. If you are ready to face the deeper issues interfering with your personal success, it is time to contact me.

Looking for help can be daunting. Life brings us challenges, decisions and transitions where we need some guidance, perspective and support. Together, we will create a fun, yet straight forward and solution - based environment for managing life’s challenges and thrive while overcoming them.

Hi there! I provide therapy to individuals and believe there isn’t one approach that works for everyone. I’ve found that integrating mindfulness and compassion often creates the most meaningful benefits for well-being. I love learning about what matters to people and supporting them in finding their own path to healing and balance. I bring my perspective as a human, Earth lover, wife, and dog mom to connect with others in their beautiful complexities, and I look forward to learning your story and helping you write your next chapter.

It can be overwhelming to begin the process of therapy and takes courage to make that first contact. OFFERING VIDEO SESSIONS BECAUSE OF COVID 19. As your therapist I will engage you in becoming comfortable exploring your inner self and learning where do you get stuck and what increases your satisfaction in life. Using a compassionate and collaborative approach, we will develop a plan that addresses your issues. You will learn to look in the mirror and not the magnifying glass to improve both your self image and relationships with others. You will also learn how to set boundaries; this reduces anger and increases self esteem.

Have you tried to overcome obstacles and barriers to a healthy, happy life? Are you at a place where you want to be healthy and thrive in your life? Have you considered reaching out to someone else for help but struggle with being vulnerable and asking for help? You have taken the first step in recognizing that working through life’s challenges alone is not necessary. I have experience helping others through adjustment periods and struggles that often overwhelm and can at times debilitate and create stress, anxiety, depression and difficulty with interpersonal relationships.

As a Mental Health Therapist, I embarked on my journey of self-development in 2014, catalyzed by a life-altering panic attack during a traumatic event. Initially feeling isolated in my struggles, I sought help and immersed myself in various modalities aimed at nurturing my soul back to health. Through years of introspection and growth, I came to appreciate the profound significance of therapy as a safe haven, cultivating self-awareness, and harnessing the transformative potential of cognitive techniques. That's when I made the choice to transition from my role as an engineer to become a therapist.

Being an immigrant, a child of immigrants, a world traveler, or an international student can leave you feeling disconnected and unsure of where you belong. You may feel alone even when surrounded by people, busy with school, work, or daily responsibilities. If this is you, please know: you are not alone. Many who uproot themselves—whether by choice or by circumstance—experience similar feelings. These emotions are valid, human, and understandable. Still, the isolation and lack of belonging can be exhausting. You may be longing to feel more grounded, hopeful, and connected.
