Welcome to all of you. I am primarily trained in health psychology, working with those hoping to harmonize their body and mind benefiting from alternative and integrative initiatives. I am comfortable treating issues of dual realities: behaviors; bipolar disorder; death; hyphenated/intersectional identities; inter/multi-generational traumas; relationships (children/parents, couples, blended families, siblings); life transitions and personal journeys of assimilation, breakup, borders crossing, conversion, displacement, divorce, migration, sobriety and transitioning - all great examples of the incredible power of human transformation.

At some point in our lives we can come to a place of feeling stuck or trapped, confused, sad or just plain scared of the transitions ahead. Life circumstances can become complicated and threaten to overwhelm. Depression and/or anxiety can compound these moments and leave us feeling rather without direction or hope. I work with adults in digging their way out of these feelings in order to create space and opportunity for themselves where they previously thought there was none.

Do you find yourself asking “Should I be worried about this?” in regards with your child? Are you struggling to determine whether your child’s behavior is “normal”, a phase, or something that needs additional support? Is your adolescent’s inability to put his emotional experiences into words resulting in him communicating his inner turmoil through actions (i.e.,arguing, acting out, distancing from you, disengaging with academic responsibilities, etc.). I have a deep passion for working with youth and parents and have had the pleasure of working with children, adolescents, parents, and families from diverse cultural backgrounds and with various stressors since 2006.

Most (90+%) of my clients come to me for help with anxiety, OCD, or related disorders. Many (about half) come to me because they also have some form of neurodiversity, such as autism or ADHD, and I have specialization in both areas and understand how they can intersect. All of my clients are struggling with difficult thoughts and feelings, and are experiencing high levels of distress and/or have withdrawn from their life, avoiding their fears, but also making their world smaller. They often have stopped enjoying the things they used to enjoy and are wanting to get back into living their best life.

Are there parts of you that feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, disconnected and burnout? Do you feel like your relationship with your partner has changed after having children? New moms and parents can often feel that there has been so much emphasis on taking care of baby, that they end up feeling that their own needs and wants don't matter. I am a mother myself and am passionate about working with those on their journey into and through both motherhood and parenthood. I enjoy working with both mothers and couples.

Are you feeling stuck in your life today, or noticing more conflict in your relationships? This could be a sign that you are being called to do the deep work of exploring your past, your present, and your patterns in an effort to heal and grow? I believe therapy can offer you the opportunity to understand and heal from the destructive relationship dynamics, unresolved trauma, inadequate attachment experiences, and negative core beliefs that may be holding you back in your life today. Working on yourself takes courage, but you don’t have to go it alone!

We usually come to therapy when we feel stuck and just need someone to help us figure out how to get to the other side. I often think of the ups and downs in our lives as being like the ocean. It constantly changes, ebbs and flows. Often, during the ebbing times in our lives, we need help to figure out how to make our lives flow again or how to “hold on” until it naturally does.

I believe that a successful working relationship is woven together with factors that lend trust and confidence to our process. These elements include my professional training and experience, our comfort zone allowing us to build an important bridge, and your motivation to work on the issues at hand. The most important ingredients for successful therapy are trust, fit, chemistry and motivation.

I work with adults, teens, children, and parents, using age-appropriate approaches to support the therapeutic process. Adult therapy focuses on uncovering strengths, core wounds, and deep-seated narratives that shape self-perception. I help clients recognize how long-held patterns, often seen as maladaptive, are simply ways we have learned to get our needs met and survive in a complicated world. Teens need a safe, private space, where they feel heard and understood, leading to open expression, self-awareness and healing. My work with children incorporates play and metaphor to access deeper psychological layers.
