For many parents, mealtime can be frustrating, especially if challenging behavior goes beyond ‘typical pickiness.’ As the director of Healthy Beginnings, a behavioral feeding therapy program, I have helped children that have displayed a variety of challenging mealtimes behaviors. This includes selectivity by food, color, brand, and texture, as well as children who may vomit at the sight of a new food, or perhaps refuse to feed themselves with utensils. Feeding tube dependency is another area in which I have taught children how to eat and drink who perhaps have had minimal or no experience with oral feeding.

I try to connect with each person to begin the process of healing,growth,and self empowerment.

“Mental health is not a destination, but a process. It’s about how you drive, not where you’re going” – Noam Shpancer, PHD. Sometimes in life we reach a point where we lose focus on the things critical to improving/maintaining our mental health and overall quality of life. I myself have once reached that point and it was then I realized the importance of having a strong network of support, including a therapist. I have come to learn that a tremendous amount of people feel alone, left out, or unheard; and so, I strive to create a safe space for people to be seen, heard, understood, and valued.

Living as an immigrant or person of color in America is challenging. You may be struggling with navigating multiple cultural identities, meeting family and community expectations, facing discrimination and limited opportunities, or finding belonging and feeling at peace with your authentic self. You may feel guilt, obligation, that you are never “enough”, or constant worry and anxiety. You may struggle in relationships because it feels difficult to find time for yourself, you are never sure where you stand, or if you are fully accepted as you are.

Life is something that is always throwing us curve balls! From work-life stressors to the loss of a loved one or even relationship concerns and anything in between are possible experiences that we can have. If you are looking for a little extra support in processing these different life stressors then therapy is one way of making sure that we are taking care of ourselves as well.

“I don't feel cared for.” “When I bring up the ‘hard stuff,’ I’m met with silence." “Whatever I give is never enough.” “Why do I feel so alone?” “We keep having the same fights.” “I just want to be heard.” If these statements resonate with you, I'm glad you've landed on my page. Navigating these struggles alone can be overwhelming. In couples therapy, I can offer effective and compassionate help for your relationship, tailored to meet the needs of your situation. Working together, we can develop the skills you need to move away from a cycle of conflict and frustration and move towards greater connection, communication, and intimacy.
