Life can throw a curveball, whether it being in your relationship, career, or negative feelings within yourself. The therapy room is the perfect environment for you to figure out your next step and how you will move forward. While we work together I’ll be utilizing an integrative approach and draw from various therapeutic methodologies including emotion-focused therapy, solution-focused therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. In the therapy room we can process and understand the specific context of the discomfort in a safe environment.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor providing art therapy along with traditional "talk" therapy addressing trauma, anxiety, depression, relationships, parenting, and other challenges. I create a personalized approach (including utilization of techniques from art therapy, solution-focused, person and family centered, cognitive-behavioral, and Yalom therapeutic models) for the adolescents/adults served and empower you to develop the skills and confidence needed to address future issues. Art therapy provides the opportunity to further optimize possibilities for insight, processing, and developing new tools for expression of thoughts/ feelings in ways traditional therapy may not be able to bring about.

My approach to therapy is non judgemental, trauma-informed, and LGBTQIA+/gender affirming. I specialize in working with clients who are exploring gender or sexual identities, childhood trauma, PTSD, individuals late diagnosed with ADHD or seeking ADHD diagnosis, depression, borderline personality disorder, and anxiety. I work with children, adults and couples to support you through difficult moments, explore how the past impacts you today, strengthen your relationships, and build awareness and understanding of your emotions.

I work with adults facing a variety of obstacles including anxiety, depression, trauma, and work/life stress. Therapy is a collaborative process, meaning that together, we will work on developing and achieving the goals that are important to you, in whatever season you may be in. Whether your goal is to improve your relationships, manage stress, or uncover and work through the source(s) of your trauma, we will bring your story to light and ensure you have the tools to write the rest of it in the way that best serves you.

It can be exhausting to navigate life when isolated, facing one stressor after another, feeling depressed or anxious, or trying to recover from a traumatic experience. For many, these experiences interfere with day-to-day life such as our relationships, work, school, and more. For many, therapy can provide needed support. The most significant part of therapy is your relationship with your therapist, this is why I approach therapy by getting to know you as a whole person and use a collaborative approach to help empower your innate strengths.

I offer therapy to adults, working through grief, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, life transitions, eating disorders and more. I have experience working with clients in inpatient and outpatient care, providing both group and individual therapy. I have an integrative approach to therapy and enjoy pulling from multiple modalities to best meet the unique needs of my client. I especially enjoy elements which encourage self-efficacy, emotional stability, self-discovery, growth, and wellness.

You feel the pressure to be perfect all the time-from nutrition and exercise to parenting and your home. You can’t get your brain to shut off. Lying in bed, driving, sitting at your desk…the worry is overwhelming. Maybe it’s about your kids, your job, your marriage, or your health. On and on it goes and you can’t control it. Decision making is paralyzing and you’re constantly doubting yourself. The restlessness makes you constantly on edge.You’re told you’re “not supposed to worry” and then feel guilty and out of control because you can’t cope with it. “Something must be wrong with me,” you tell yourself. It’s exhausting.

As a second-generation immigrant with a bicultural identity, I am keenly aware that conversations about mental health concerns can feel confusing. Navigating the intersections of our identities, values, relationships and experiences can feel like we are constantly pulled in many different directions and struggle to feel at peace. This can negatively impact our self-esteem, self-confidence and how well we are able to be present in the different areas of our lives. My passion is to inspire curiosity about oneself and revive the path of intentional and heartful living.

It can be so hard to be in our experiences of life. For many reasons, we can find ourselves stuck, worried, sad and lost. We can lose our anchors, our values, our meaning and our quality of life. We can experience terrible traumas and struggle in relationships with others and with ourselves. We can lose our capacity to feel agency in our own lives and to stay engaged and curious with our own unique journeys. ​We do not find our way in isolation. I believe that, in working together, we are better equipped to navigate the journey and to feel good about the direction it takes.

Is traditional talk therapy not necessarily the right fit? Would you like to explore alternative forms of expression for healing? Or perhaps you would like to augment your current treatment via a creative arts approach? As an art therapist, I have a passion for working with those who are looking to tap into their artistic side. I employ an eclectic strengths-based approach that incorporates positive psychology, mindfulness, guided imagery, DBT and CBT techniques. The aim being to broaden and build upon one’s current skills and strengths.

Oftentimes it seems overwhelming or even impossible to believe we can feel better. I truly believe that with trust, insight, and therapeutic tools you can untangle anxious thoughts and heal from past trauma. My strengths-based approach to therapy is tailored to the needs of the individual to identify the client's goals, reveal the underlying causes of symptoms or issues, and implement healing strategies.

In 2024, my clients and I are working on: being mindful with our time, setting our intentions and being accountable. We will conquer those three while working towards our everyday goals. My passion is helping people become and maintain the best versions of themselves. I achieve this by creating a safe, supportive, and empowering environment for all clients. My goal is to assist you in developing and utilizing coping skills, while working toward your personal goals, and establishing and maintaining self-care regiments and mental health.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), I work with those that are feeling stuck, unsatisfied, frustrated, or distressed and seeking a change. I specialize in relational work, whether those relationships are with your romantic partners, family members, friends, or yourself. I work collaboratively with you to identify those places of change so that you can live in a way that feels more authentic and meaningful. I fully believe in the inherent value and worthiness of all people and this value guides my practice.

No two people are alike and therefore everyone deserves treatment that is tailored to their individual circumstances and needs. After having had the opportunity to work with many different individuals in a variety of settings, my experience has shaped my approach to be person-centered and individualized. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults from various backgrounds, regardless of their gender, sexuality, or beliefs. I strive to provide you with a non-judgmental and supportive environment, to allow you to grow and take steps towards reaching your goals.
