When human beings experience various forms of traumas or extreme life stressors, it is not uncommon for their lives to unravel. What interest me into the mental health field initially, was that anxiety and depression was prevalent in my family. I wanted to understand and become more knowledgeable about the mental health issues my family suffered. It became my mission to help others moving forward, to recover from anxiety and depression. My desire became to help my clients not only recover from anxiety and depression, but to become the greatest version of theirselves.

Navigating life’s ups and downs can be as much a challenge as it is a privilege. The support of a caring presence outside your circle of daily influence can help as you move through the tricky spots. I have professional and/or lived experience with anxiety, depression, trauma/ complex trauma, toxic relationships, sexual violence/ harassment, implicit bias, career transitions and institutional betrayal. My professional journey affords me nuanced understanding of academia/ higher education, employee relations/ HR, healthcare, work abroad, discrimination/ bias, law, social justice and the impact of workplace investigations.

As my practice’s name implies, we can all feel broken at times. And to compound matters, we might face discrimination through no fault of our own—on the basis of race, sexual orientation, gender, finances, age, health or ability status, or neurocognitive differences. In my years of practice with the chronically ill and under-housed, I’ve seen and addressed the fallout from stigma and institutional barriers all day every day. So that’s the bad news, which you probably already know.

If you are searching for a therapist who specializes in conversations around identity, and focuses on all of what makes you you, then you’re in the right place. Who we are does not exist in a vacuum, and we are not all one thing, so if you're looking for conversations on how the different pieces make you - YOU - we'll likely work well together. I treat trauma-related symptoms, grief, mood and anxiety disorders, and stressors related to intersectional and multicultural identities.
