I work with patients (individuals, romantic relationships of all kinds, families, and groups) who struggle with crisis and long-standing emotional distress. Specifically, I address trauma, dissociative disorders, depression, anxiety, psychosis, and other types of suffering from a primarily systemic, relational, self-psychological psychoanalytic lens. Clients who benefit most from their work with me are motivated to come to understand the conscious and unconscious dynamics that keep them from living and relating in the way they most long to. I see clients at least once per week.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, especially when you’re navigating anxiety or depression, carrying the weight of past experiences, or facing a major life transition. Maybe you’re carrying shame, struggling with self-worth, or feeling weighed down by expectations. I support clients navigating mood concerns, grief and loss, past trauma, challenging relationships, ADHD, burnout, and more. I have a particular passion working with women and young adults as they explore areas of identity and purpose.

Do you find yourself unable to shut your mind off? Replaying past events or chronically worrying? Is your inner critic keeping you from finding confidence in yourself and security with your place in the world? Have you experienced emotional pain and confusion that keeps your past in the present? Are you struggling to build self-esteem or find self-worth? Has the stress from daily responsibilities compounded existing problems with depression, anxiety, or loss?

Winnicott wrote, "Feeling real is more than existing; it is finding a way to exist as oneself." It is my hope that through the process of therapy, you'll come to know and develop yourself in ways that are life affirming. I am a clinical psychologist, providing psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and groups. My approach is collaborative, and together we'll uncover new perspectives for understanding and managing difficulties that hold you back. We'll look for patterns from your past that inform your current circumstances, and nurture the character strengths that help you live more fully.

Life is hard and it doesn't always let us catch our breath before the next thing comes. Perhaps you need some help finding a solution for the next step or maybe you just need someone to listen to you and show some empathy. Sometimes you don't understand why you get so angry, irritable, or emotional about the small inconveniences that come up in life and maybe you'd like to be more mindful and in control of your emotions/reactions. Whether it be someone to listen to you, someone to find a solution with, or just to get back control of your life so you can be the expert of it, I can help.

By integrating the gold-standard tools of ERP and ACT with a psychodynamic lens, we tackle your anxiety from both ends.
You’ve spent years mastering the art of looking composed while feeling like you’re losing a mental chess match against yourself. Whether it’s perfectionism, OCD rituals, or a relentless internal critic, the "logic" isn't working anymore.

I primarily draw from psychodynamic approaches, like IFS.
Whatever brought you here, know that you are taking an important step! I work with adults and teens navigating all kinds of experiences including depression, anxiety, past trauma, relationship struggles, and life transitions. My work as a therapist is founded on the belief that healing happens in relationship. The wounds we carry most often began in relationship with others, and the path toward wholeness often comes by relating to ourselves and others differently. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space that welcomes all parts of you so that you can better understand and connect with yourself and others.

Bilingual therapist specializing in therapy for couples who seek closeness and repair and individuals ages 13+ in parenting, addictions, anxiety and depression. Psychotherapy when done well is a deeply personal and emotionally laden experience. It contextualizes the difficulties occurring now with the life lived up to this point, shaped by relationships of all kinds and the ways we have learned from these experiences - for better or for worse. For example, some of our current tendencies may have previously served us well but now may undermine our ability to live the life that we long for.

You may be carrying experiences that feel too heavy alone-navigating life as an immigrant or refugee, healing from trauma or domestic violence, facing serious illness or loss, or supporting a loved one with developmental disabilities. Clients come to me exhausted but hopeful: tired of managing alone, yet believing things can change. You deserve a therapist who truly sees you-your culture, your resilience, your humanity. I meet you without judgment. Together we identify what's keeping you stuck, build on your existing strengths, and create a path forward. You don't have to carry this alone.

One of the most challenging things to do sometimes is to ask for help. Seeking out a therapist is no different; maybe even more challenging. In reaching out and embracing counseling, you could learn and develop new skills for dealing with stress, anxiety and depression, more effective ways of coping, and improve self-esteem.

Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in painful relationship patterns that leave them feeling hurt, reactive, alone, or misunderstood. Often, couples become trapped in cycles where one person pursues while the other distances, even though both deeply want connection.
