Whether your challenge is situational, chronic, or acute, my goal is to help you learn how to create a more fulfilled life and enrich your relationships.

Welcome. So many of us are finding ourselves in a period of change or transformation. Some chosen and some not - some internally focused and other driven by external forces. However this movement is coming to you - it can bring and bring up a range of feelings, thoughts and memories. Unrecognized patterns, excitement/worry about the future and/or confusion about the present - just to name a few. By creating a space centered around curiosity and exploration, is free of judgement and pressure I aim to support you in connecting with your innate wisdom, that place that tells you this feels safe, this feels right..this feels like me.

I offer a safe and non-judgmental space where all parts of you are welcomed to come forward, and will be met with curiosity and deep reverence. I am drawn to, and inspired by, the power of human resiliency. I believe we all have an innate wellspring of information, experiences, and tools inside of us, to guide us to a deeper sense of ourselves. I am passionate about helping you discover, explore, and connect to all parts of you, in order to live a more full and embodied life.

Anxiety and stress can leave us feeling shattered, disconnected, and out of touch with our authentic selves. The constant overwhelm, isolation from misunderstood friends, and struggle to establish and uphold boundaries can be exhausting. It's possible you can't even recall a time when you didn't feel this way. But here's what's clear: you're craving relief. You're eager to cultivate fulfilling relationships free from the grip of the past. You're determined to regain confidence in asserting your needs. Above all, you're ready to rekindle self-love and embrace the future with renewed hope.

I help individuals and families work through personal struggles, relationship issues, and communication breakdowns so they can live authentically and enjoy deeper, more meaningful connections with themselves and others. I provide heart-centered, humanistic psychotherapy that is grounded in theory and science. I value seeing every client as the expert of their experience and take great pride in providing tailored to you therapy that opens up our stories to new possibilities.

If you're looking for a therapist, you're probably feeling like life is harder than it should be. Well, life IS hard. It can also be filled with a lot of joy, love, and fulfillment if you know where to look. You may be in your 20s navigating post college life, or perhaps you're a new parent struggling with a brand new identity, or maybe you're a child of immigrants feeling stuck between 2 cultures and sets of expectations.

I became a therapist because of the transformative experience I had as a client. I know firsthand how powerful and healing the therapeutic relationship can be and this is the experience I aim to give my clients. It is possible to create the life and the relationships that nourish and inspire you, but most of us get stuck somewhere along the way and need help figuring out how to get back on track and how to heal the parts of ourselves that keep us in unhealthy and ultimately unfulfilling patterns of thought, feeling or behavior. My approach emphasizes acceptance of, and compassion for, the whole person.

Are you seeking to know yourself better? Do you want to be able to connect more meaningfully with others? Do you feel deceptively fine while feeling lost? Therapy for self understanding is a process that can slowly and surely equip you to overcome your anxieties and other challenging emotional experiences. Exploring what goes on in your feelings begins a process to produce change.

Finding the right therapist can be a daunting process, yet it is one that really matters. It is understandable to feel out of sorts, isolated, or misunderstood when experiencing relationship, family, peer, academic, or workplace stress, during a life transition, or when recovering from trauma. You may also be struggling with a death, the end of a relationship, a relocation from another state or country, an adjustment to a health issue of yourself or a loved one, or being in an environment in which you feel you don't fit. It can be painful to experience these feelings and to try to find a way forward. You don't have to do this alone.

It’s a struggle to deal with anxiety, a harmful inner critic, or unsatisfying relationship dynamics. It can be hard to feel playful, to easily connect to others, to get your emotional needs met, or to feel at ease in your body. Whether you feel overwhelmed by your emotions or cut off from them, you know you want to do things differently but aren’t sure how. While I don’t work with couples, I do specialize in working with individuals who are carrying around belief systems that are keeping them anxious or detached in relationships.

Clients who come to me are often seeking help for an IEP evaluation after being denied by their school. Some come for themselves curious if they have ADHD or are on the spectrum. Are you trying to understand and get a handle on your child's difficulties at home and school? Does your child show symptoms of autism? Do you wonder if you or your child have a learning disability? Did your child spend extensive time in the NICU and/or PICU and you wonder if this affected their development? Did you adopt from an orphanage and now your child is exhibiting extreme behaviors that you do not understand and cannot manage? I am here to help!

My goal is to help people obtain insight, new perspectives, and tools for improved wellbeing. I enjoy working with a wide variety of people and implement a range of evidence-based treatments. When I work with people in therapy, I utilize the whole person and look at biological, psychological, and social factors that may be impacting their wellbeing. When we begin working together, I discuss different approaches to therapy so that you can make an informed decision about what approach you prefer.
