Are you experiencing depression/anxiety symptoms? Experiencing difficulties with healthy communication in your relationships? Gender dysphoria or learning to accept a new identity? Desiring to progress but feeling stagnant in several areas in your life? Therapy is a relationship, and it is important to me that you feel seen, heard, and understood. I am empathetically direct, and I encourage my clients to express themselves in a way that feels authentic to them. We can create goals and explore past childhood trauma or issues that may impact who you are today. Therapy works best when we work together.

I work with adults ages 18 to 100 who are experiencing problems and life stressors interfering with work,; relationships, family or friends. Many of these issues involve these symptoms.

Fit in everywhere and nowhere at the same time? I get it. I help diverse women who juggle multiple cultural identities heal. Maybe you’re the child of immigrants, multiracial or a racially ambiguous chameleon, an expat, “third culture kid”, bilingual (or sad you lost your parent’s language), feel culturally displaced, part of a religious minority, or just don’t quite fit into any one box. You probably feel suffocated by the drive to overfunction, perform, and be what everyone else needs you to be. You might find it hard to get your own needs met and feel unsettled in yourself and your relationships.

You are a unique magnificent being of Love, Peace, Joy and Light. You are whole and total...not separate from anyone or anything. It in only believing in thoughts, judgments, especially negative ones, that creates suffering, I would love to support you in: 1) learning how not to believe negative thoughts, rather observe and see through them and challenge them:2) when you do identify with them resulting in fear, pain, anger, or sadness how to directly experience them in your heart or body without story so they dissolve. 3) sit in the splendor of who you are and discover all the answers and everything you need is already within you.

To me, the ideal client is someone who is willing to learn about himself: to come to realize his assets and to confront and transcend his limitations. The ideal client has the courage necessary to make the difficult decisions that it often takes to move forward in life. The ideal client sees a sense of purpose in what he goes through, and has the drive necessary to find a commensurate sense of meaning with respect to his circumstances.

Whether your challenge comes from a past or recent trauma, relationship or interpersonal issues, addictions, issues of loss and letting go, anxiety, depression or just general life-confusion, there are many tools to employ to recover and reset yourself. And doing it with a supportive partner can make all the difference. Therapy is a chance to get to know yourself on a more intimate level, to bring balance to the body, mind and daily habits, clarify values and goals and get you moving in a direction that brings light, joy and purpose back to living. It teaches you grounding, new perspectives and new coping skills.

Holding space for millennial women to let go of perfectionism, stop people-pleasing, and heal from the past. You feel stuck reliving the past and un-loveable despite "knowing" that you are enough. You've done therapy before but found yourself feeling worse. Does this sound familiar? It's not all in your head. Trauma impacts our perspective and causes us to the see the present through the eyes of the past. This can impact everything from our relationships with friends, to sleep and our performance at work. However, healing is possible if we know how to go about healing it.
