I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, mood, and money disorders, helping clients navigate challenges related to emotional regulation, life transitions, and stress management, as well as money-related concerns, such as financial anxiety, compulsive spending, or gambling. Additionally, I offer couples therapy to support partners in enhancing communication, resolving conflicts, rebuilding trust, and strengthening their connection. I create a safe, non-judgmental environment where couples can explore their past dynamics and cultivate deeper intimacy and understanding.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Are you ready to make a positive change in your life? Asking for help takes courage, but the rewards of doing so can lead to a lifetime of fulfillment. In working together, we will cultivate growth by understanding the obstacles that you face and develop solutions that can help you gain control of your life and achieve your goals.

I'm passionate about supporting first-generation individuals, immigrants, refugees, BIPOC communities, and anyone navigating life challenges. I know that our cultural identities and systemic stressors can contribute to trauma and feelings of depression or anxiety, so I use a holistic, collaborative approach integrating different evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral, person-centered, emotion-focused, and solution-focused therapy to provide a personalized therapeutic approach to your unique challenges.

Life can throw many challenges our way. It takes strength to reach out for help when you recognize that your happiness and well-being have been negatively impacted by such challenges.

I believe in creating a non-judgmental, safe-space for all clients in which they feel they can be their most authentic selves. You deserve to create and define a life for yourself that feels genuine and fulfilling - I'm here to support you along that journey.

I work with adults who may feel overwhelmed, stuck in painful patterns, or carrying the impact of past experiences. I specialize in supporting neurodivergent individuals and those navigating trauma, identity, and emotional overwhelm. Together, we slow down and explore what’s beneath these struggles while building greater self-understanding and practical ways to feel more grounded, connected, and at ease in daily life.

Would it help to lean on someone as you work your way out of feeling overwhelmed, lonely, scattered, numb, scared, sad, or stuck in conflict? If you choose to, together, we'll get over to the side where connection, calm, and self-worth can thrive. I truly believe we all have what it takes to foster well-being if we lean on our strengths and supports. In an accepting and attuned therapy space, I help clients access and bolster their skills for mindful self-compassion, empathy, insights, and resilience. And the culturally sensitive and attachment-informed techniques we practice get tailored to your situation, values, and capabilities.

Not accepting new clients
I specialize in working with individuals who feel misunderstood or isolated, often due to neurodiversity (autism, ADHD) or other marginalized experiences. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, life transitions, or relationship issues, and long for a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore their inner world. They want to feel truly heard, discover their strengths, and develop practical strategies for daily life. Ultimately, they seek a genuine therapeutic relationship where vulnerability is welcomed, trust is built, and meaningful change is possible.
