Are you navigating a transition in your life, experiencing an unusual amount of stress, or finding it difficult to get out of bed in the morning? Do you want to better understand yourself and your relationships with your partner, family, friends, or coworkers? You are wired for belonging and connection and want intimacy and authenticity in your relationships. When these needs are not being met, you feel detached, adrift, sad, and irritable. It is difficult, but this can be the perfect opportunity for creating a new, healthier "normal."

I create a collaborative environment centered on the premise that you are expert of your own life. Using a holistic, multicultural lens, I both affirm and challenge clients to help discern goals, values, & beliefs as well as their origins.

It can be a difficult decision to seek help when your life is feeling off track or stuck in patterns that are not serving you. Particularly in our current climate of increased anxiety and rising levels of depression, it’s crucial that you have a sense of comfort and emotional safety with the person with whom you work to explore the issues that confront you. I implement an individualized course of therapy for each client using a combination of psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral and relational techniques. I offer a free consultation in order for us to decide if I might be a good fit for you.

I create an environment that helps clients explore both the internal and external barriers to their healing and growth. As a psychologist I pull from working with diverse groups of people and assist on issues of trauma, grief, loss, relationship difficulties, wellness and health. To me, therapy is best when it's a mix of approaches that are used strategically to create a nonjudgmental and empathic atmosphere. My style is both warm and thought-provoking, and I actively collaborate with and support those with whom I work.
