As a clinician, I have experience working with
adults
, families and children in various socio-economic status addressing issues around childhood and adult traumatic experiences, relational problems/interpersonal conflicts, struggles with depression and anxiety as well as substance use.
"You are not broken. You are breaking through." Do you feel like no one understands you or can truly help you the way you need? There are times that our perceptions of life situations differs from those around us, causing us to feel unheard or unsupported. These are the times we need support the most. My passion for helping others led me to become a therapist. I believe that every individual has magnificent inner resources that need support in coming to light. My goal as your therapist is to make you feel empowered to create the best life for yourself.

When facing challenges, it can be hard to figure things out on our own. You don’t have to figure it out on your own. I offer services through Telehealth to help process personal and interpersonal conflicts that affect daily functioning and quality of life. If you are ready for a positive change in your life, I am here to offer you support in your therapeutic journey towards recovery. You are invited to dialogue in a free consultation with me.

who struggle with anxiety, panic, phobias, dissociation, avoidance, PTSD and surviving trauma.
Are you struggling with distressing symptoms of anxiety and depression that keep you from doing the things you want to do?

Is fear keeping you from going certain places, doing certain things or interacting with certain people? Have you experienced trauma? My philosophy for therapy includes an individualized approach based on your unique strengths, needs and goals. My approach is holistic, integrating symptom reduction, physical health, relationships, and spiritual growth.

I am here to listen to you. I work with children, teens, and
adults
to support exploration of difficult issues and life changes. Often what brings someone to seek counseling, either for themselves or for their child, is being faced with a challenge they need support navigating and resolving. This issue may result from an atypical experience or be more pervasive, and can bring about feelings of anger, depression, anxiety, low self-worth, or communication issues. Taking the risk to ask for help is the first step on the road toward healing and growth.

I have had the privilege of working one on one with adolescents and
adults
navigating issues of loss, grief, depression, anxiety, LGBTQ, midlife changes, and differing communication styles.
Hi! If I have learned one thing in life it's that change is difficult, particularly without help. I offer the opportunity to work collaboratively through what's keeping you from living the life you always thought you would have. Therapy can help one let go of patterns and beliefs, often subconscious, that aren't working. And changing our assumptions about the world and improving our relationships can result in profoundly positive changes and a life worth embracing! I look forward to helping you realize those changes.

Reaching out for help can feel uncomfortable, even a bit scary. Making the decision to break down the barriers that are standing in the way of one’s unhappiness is unsettling. Change is hard. With that in mind, I use a gentle, supportive approach and provide an environment where you can feel safe and understood . In this welcoming space a therapeutic alliance can be cultivated . Together we will understand what you are experiencing and you will feel empowered to discover your own strengths and be ready to make effective change.

My professional experience is rooted in Community Mental Health settings, working with children, teens,
adults
, & their families.
I am a LMFT, first-generation immigrant, single mother of two beautiful biracial children, an artist, food lover, & a senior leader at a nonprofit organization. I moved to the U.S from France at 12 years old, and struggled as a teenage to maneuver a new culture. I have experienced many times throughout my life how difficult it can be to feel something is missing in your life, and the frustration that comes with being unable to identify what that puzzle piece is. Throughout my personal experiences, I learned how instrumental others can be in the process of self-discovery & developed a passion for helping others heal.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
