If you’re going to invest this much time and energy, you want therapy that actually moves the needle—not just insight. I work with individuals and couples in a structured, emotionally focused way aimed at lasting change. I’m a Level 3 Gottman clinician with certificates in EFT and perinatal mental health. I specialize in working professionals navigating marital distress, infertility/IVF, LGBTQ+ clients, Asian/Asian American and immigrant communities, and first-gen professionals feeling stuck despite doing everything right, as well as relational conflict, career curveballs, confidence slumps, and parenting challenges.

I work with adults and couples facing grief, trauma, anxiety, life transitions, or relationship challenges. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—from yourself or your partner—I offer a warm, supportive space to explore what’s happening beneath the surface. Drawing on EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and other evidence-based approaches, I help clients heal deeply, strengthen relationships, and create lasting emotional change.

Many adults seek therapy when life no longer feels aligned — even when things appear “fine” on the surface. You may feel stuck, emotionally depleted, navigating a transition, or questioning long-held roles, relationships, or expectations. Therapy can provide a steady space to pause, reflect, and move forward with intention. My holistic approach examines the individual's presenting concern, emotional and physical health, social connections, and environmental/social circumstances. Please visit my website for additional information.

If there were ever a time when reaching out and asking for help, I believe it is now. Togetherr we can make a plan to live our best possible lives, keep hope in our hearts, connect with our loved ones, adapting and adjusting to the many transitions life presents us. We can listen to our gut, honor our stories, honor the stories and feelings of others. And most important of all keep hope alive. The first step is to know that we can't do it all by ourselves.

My goal is to help you become psychologically stronger and feel better about yourself as a person. I'll help you think clearly, know yourself better, develop calmness, communicate effectively, and behave smartly. Abusive self-criticism, impulsivity or undue anger are destructive patterns that worsen over time if they are not contained. I'll teach you to gain self-control so that you can catch these tendencies in their earliest stages and substitute better alternatives. I focus on learning self-compassion, so you can deal with a lack of success without turning against yourself. Removing gratuitous negativity from life is liberating.

For over a decade, we've worked with adults in their 20s and 30s to help them overcome the emotional, behavioral, and mental health challenges of young adulthood. We have a keen understanding of the demands on today's young adults to succeed academically, socially, and in the workplace. Our goal is to support you in developing necessary skills and resources as you pursue personal, career, and academic success. When work or school performance is a concern, our focus is on the intersection of mental health issues with these needs, two aspects of a person's life that are rarely addressed simultaneously or understood as interdependent.

Most people that I see in my practice do not have an emotional or psychological illness but are faced with professional or relationship issues that are causing personal distress. These issues when not understood and dealt with can create symptoms of anxiety, depression and a loss of satisfaction in personal, professional, and intimate relationships. They can also interfere with the full expression of a person's unique abilities and the fulfillment of his or her goals.
