Hello! I am a bilingual therapist passionate about working with clients from different backgrounds and cultures. Since 2014, I have been offering services to clients who have experienced trauma in their lives and who have experienced intense emotions of sadness, fear, anger, worry, low self-esteem, or affecting their interpersonal relationships. I offer clients a safe space to process their feelings and experiences, teaching them skills that can help them regulate their emotions and improve their quality of life. I believe healing occurs by creating and promoting a safe therapeutic relationship.

Are you a young person struggling to make decisions for yourself? Do you feel lost? Does the thought of adulthood overwhelm you? To unburden yourself of this pressure, it may help to talk to someone. Therapy is a space for you to open up without the fear of shame or rejection. I operate my practice based on three tenets: 1) I will listen to you 2) I will provide you with evidence-based tools for life 3) I will ask for your feedback. Together, we will look for patterns that no longer serve you, unpack situations that require resolution, and identify the emotions that you experience throughout this process.

Getting to know my clients with warmth and care is important to me. I value responding from the heart and believe the experience of therapy can look differently for each person. I often hear from my clients that they find the metaphor of -taking space- useful to think about. In my experience, when people who are supposed to support us have been violating our boundaries, we might learn to shrink or silence ourselves, and have trouble saying No to certain behaviors and people. This can in return take away from our availability to say Yes when we truly want to.

You and I will work closely together to form a comfortable and collaborative therapeutic relationship in which exploration, learning, and healing can occur.

Perhaps you are wondering if therapy is really for you. Are you feeling overwhelmed and unable to manage the negative thoughts and overpowering emotions that are impacting your ability to live a happy and peaceful life? Your feelings are valid, and they provide you with a clue to uncover what is working in your life and what is not. The experience of being stuck in this negative emotional cycle can seem unending and hold you back from reaching out for support. Therapy can help.

I help adult individuals and couples through major life transitions for themselves, their relationships and their work. In therapy I help you understand what you are feeling, so you can come up with ways to better cope and problem-solve during challenging times, develop a stronger sense of identity, develop and exercise self-compassion, and develop insight into unhelpful patterns. In doing so, you can improve your psychological well-being, achieve your goals, and live a more fulfilling life. I believe you are the only expert in your own life, so my role is to help you discover the best way for you to navigate this transition.

Being a caregiver can be a landmine, and when that landmine gets tripped, it can look much different than just burnout. It can look like always doing and moving and worrying, because of a fear of everything falling apart if you slow down. It can look like feeling disconnected from or mistrusting of your body or emotions. It can look like self-sacrifice being a measure of your worth. It can look like rage, helplessness, and scary intrusive thoughts. And it can certainly feel like it's a YOU problem, when really, you may be responding the best you know how to an unsupportive environment.

I am a licensed clinical professional counselor who specializes in working with individuals struggling with eating disorders, OCD, PTSD, anxiety disorders, and depression. While I tailor my specific approach to each individual client, I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and exposure and response prevention (ERP). For the treatment of depression, I also use behavioral activation to help clients decrease avoidance in their lives and begin to engage in activities that will help improve their mood.
