We hold the key to all the answers we need on our journeys to self - actualization. In this day and time of fast-paced, quick stimulation and fixes gratification, we miss those opportunities to slow down and really listen to the our "spirit", our "gut instincts", the signs and signals our own body send to us to alert us when we are "out of balance" mentally and emotionally. As a result, we become clouded with doubts, mixed-messages, insecurity, etc. Right now, what is needed are those specific tools and strategies - just for you, in order to life to the fullest! Right Now! Let me help you in your journey to be the best you.

I foster a caring and nurturing approach, utilizing a strengths-based perspective, which allows for personal strengths to aid in recovery & empowerment of each individual. As a result, treatment promotes hope through exploration of precedent successes - serving as the foundation for growth and change. With neurofeedback, the brain relaxes, calming fear and reactivity. This interrupts emotionally based patterns of reactivity in the brain faster than we are consciously aware of them. By incorporating neurofeedback into the psychotherapy session, clients see results faster than psychotherapy alone. My clinical services are designed to provide insight, learning opportunities, & encourage commitment to life improvements.

Accepting New Clients in MA & DC! Time and again, the same struggles can show up in relationships or at work. I know how hard it is to break the cycle.

My goal is to help you create a rich and meaningful life and better navigate life's challenges. I work with folks facing a range of issues, with a specialty in trauma, burnout and relationship issues. If you experience stress from caring for/about others and our environment, I am ready to support you.

I believe each individual is the expert on his or her life and experiences. As a therapist, it is my goal to tap into that and add my own skills, insights and techniques that have helped many others. Working together, we can find solutions to the problems or situations causing stress. I find that, for most of my clients, therapy is a short-term need. You can then use your new skills in similar situations that arise in the future. My goal is to have you leave therapy with a range of tools that work for you.

Do you feel stuck in life, unable to move forward, to grow? Life can feel out of control leading to feelings of anxiety, depression, anger, frustration, loneliness, isolation and boredom. These feelings can lead to unhealthy coping skills and acting out with drugs, alcohol, sex, food, spending, gambling, etc. I focus on helping my clients regain control and develop healthy coping skills. My practice combines cognitive behavioral therapy with motivational interviewing and mindfulness to help find solutions in the here and now.

I believe that the therapist/client relationship is central to making progress. You have to find "the right fit" in order to feel safe. My goal is to help people increase self-awareness; understanding the positive and harmful ways that they relate to others. The potential benefits of therapy include improved mood, decreased anxiety, increased capacity to experience joy in life, improved self-esteem and better relationships. Many people struggle for a long time before deciding it's time to get help. It takes courage to try to change. If you are willing to work in therapy, change is attainable.

I have experience treating adults, college students, and adolescents. The majority of my clients are suffering from depression, anxiety, or relationship issues (related to dating, friendships, or family). Some have recently moved and are having trouble adjusting to a new city or college. Others are struggling to determine what they want to do with their life or which career path to take. I have experience working with clients who are suffering from a wide variety of psychological problems. I have treated people from diverse racial, ethnic, religious, and socioeconomic backgrounds. I also have experience working with gay, lesbian and bisexual clients.

No matter your past or present, your haves or have nots, life can be difficult. I believe that people want and need to be understood – to feel validated and acknowledged in the midst of their troubles. Without these moments of understanding, life can feel mundane, lonely, or deeply confusing. At the most troubling times when stress, depression, or relationships overwhelm, change can seem impossible. Yet change is made possible through a trusting therapeutic relationship and a careful understanding of oneself and others.

You are trying to shine bright like a diamond and have the things most of us desire for a good life. But there is something dimming your brilliance—it constricts you. You know, those feelings of doubt, dread, disgruntlement, desperation, or despair. Like that constant wondering about whether you are viewed as competent at work; like that disappointment you cover up with food, drink or overachieving because you haven’t met “the one;” like that hurt you carry from a past that shamed you or the depths of grief; or like the helplessness feel when your child is struggling.

There is little more frustrating than thinking and behaving in the same ways despite knowing they contribute to anxiety, depression, and other debilitating symptoms. I hear this time and time again from clients. Therapy is a place where you can start to gain the experiences you need to embody healthier thoughts and behaviors and make stronger connections with others well beyond the therapy room. (I also have experience in career counseling and offering clinical supervision to therapists-in-training).

I believe that therapy works best when the therapist and client work together toward client-driven goals and will provide a safe and supportive place for you to focus on yourself and your well-being. I specialize in anxiety and depression, grief, coping with school and work demands, parenting, and religious trauma while utilizing a cognitive behavioral approach along with meditation and mindfulness. I strongly believe in the mind-body connection and explore this with my clients.

I work with teens and adults to learn how to unhook from unhelpful thoughts and emotions so that you can focus more of your time and energy on the things that matter most to you. Common problems clients want to address include depression, anxiety, chronic pain, problems in their relationships, and unhealthy alcohol use. I teach skills that you can use to identify patterns of avoidance and increase your self-compassion. In addition to individual therapy, I also complete immigration mental health evaluations.
