Perhaps you have been having difficulty trying to manage your symptoms. Maybe you struggle with depressed or anxious feelings and troubling thoughts. You may at times feel overwhelmed or paralyzed by what you are experiencing. You might even have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep because your mind has once again been hijacked by troubling thoughts. Try as you might, you have not been able to obtain much relief from these symptoms and feel it is time to call a professional to help.

According to my mother, my first word was "why." Why is the sky blue? Why can't I have a cookie for breakfast? Why are people hurting? This curiosity is integral to my work as a therapist, as I strive to understand my client's worldview and the problems they are facing. Whether you are reliving past trauma, plagued by worrisome thoughts, concerned about your relationship or substance use, or feeling generally dissatisfied in life, I will provide an empathic ear, support, and guidance to help you meet these challenges and make the life changes you desire.

It's not easy to make a decision about needing some clarity and support. No one received a playbook on life. You may be struggling with perfectionism, work, family, relationships or a general sense of malaise or anxiety/depression. You may have tried to cope in ways that now are causing problems. Even highly accountable professionals face these issues. Education and success offer no immunity to the everyday issues of life. Most of us look good on the outside.

I have worked with kids, families, and individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, and looking at the need behind the behavior. It's important for us to be curious at what the need underlying thoughts, feelings and actions. Often, if we can work on strategies to help regulate, we find that thoughts, feelings, or actions feel less overwhelming and stressful.

You’ve worked hard to build the life you have - but lately, it’s not working for you. Whether you're an executive managing personnel, a professional feeling overwhelmed, or simply exhausted by everything you're juggling, I help high-functioning women recover from burnout and rediscover clarity, purpose, and energy. You’re used to being the one others count on. You lead, support, and deliver - but it’s a lonely position. When burnout creeps in, it can feel like you’re running on fumes but can’t slow down. Balance is hard to find while meeting everyone’s, including your own, expectations.

With over 20 years of experience I have worked with a range of issues and populations. My main approach to therapy is cognitive behavioral theory (CBT) in order to process thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that contribute to distorted thinking and behavior, therefore affecting emotional well-being. The goal is to challenge and reframe so that the client achieves their personal goals, to cope with life transitions and obstacles. I also utilize Attachment Theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy. I've assisted clients with depression, anxiety, grief/loss, trauma, life transitions, and various others.

“I'm just a soul whose intentions are good. Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood.” Those words, from a song by Nina Simone, could resonate with many of us who know how frustrating and even alienating it can feel to be misunderstood. Feeling this way is highly common in multicultural and complex societies. As a bilingual therapist and international resident, I have firsthand experience navigating multicultural challenges including the ways race, ethnicity, cultural background, gender, sexual orientation, age, socioeconomic status, and religion intersect with mental health.

Currently accepting new Telehealth clients. When we experience life’s most stressful moments, we often feel pulled farther and farther from the people, places, and things that bring us the most joy. In our effort to cope with our hardest moments, we can find ourselves more and more disconnected, leaving us feeling worse over time. My hope as your therapist is to help you navigate the most difficult of experiences in a way that allows you to reconnect with the parts of your life that bring you the most joy and meaning.
