I am also trained in psychological and psychoeducational assessment to evaluate areas of strengths and challenges for diagnostic consultation and educational planning.

You’ve had issues with anxiety or depression for as long as you can remember. You’ve worked so hard at overcoming your issues in the past and you fear that if you let yourself fully feel your sadness and anxiety, you won't be able to recover. Your family has told you that you are too dramatic, and this has caused you to not want to share your negative feelings with others. You worry that they may grow tired of your negativity. You need an outlet to talk through your feelings, but you can’t bring yourself to go to yourself to your friends and family again. Things could be worse, but you know life could also be so much better!

Being a human can be really hard sometimes. Maybe it’s hard because there’s an area in our lives where we struggle, like in our careers or relationships. Perhaps, we’ve experienced some painful times that we haven’t fully healed from or find ourselves engaging in problematic behaviors. Whatever our struggles, I’ve found that psychotherapy can help reduce our suffering and help connect us to the joy of being alive.

Your family immigrated here to make a better life for themselves. This is your home, but you’ve always felt out of place. Either you’re discriminated against because your name and appearance make you “not American enough.” Or you feel like a traitor to your family and cultural identity by over-assimilating and being “too American.” You can’t win. So instead, you hide, certain that any attempts you make will only isolate you further. On the one hand, you want to honor your heritage, but on the other, you’re terrified of being treated like an outcast. It all feels so impossible, and you don’t know where to turn.

It's great that you are reaching out for support - I'll be glad to meet you. You might be struggling to manage anxiety/depression that worsened during COVID, feeling burnt out by the demands of work or family life, or coping with a neuro-divergent brain (ADHD or autism) in a neuro-typical world. You may yearn to feel seen and understood in your struggles, and to feel release from the self-judgment that weighs heavily in your mind and heart. You may be hoping for greater emotional stability, more resilient ways to cope with stress, a better ability to set boundaries, or help with strengthening your motivation for positive change.

Change leaves us feeling unsettled and disconnected. You may be fed up with the stress and strain, feeling rattled, or unable to trust yourself. You might not even remember a time when things didn’t feel this way. The strain of change takes a toll, even when that change is good, and especially when it is not that good. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to feel calm. You’re ready to face this moment. Most of all, you’re ready to believe in yourself.

A myriad of reasons can lead someone to therapy. What if you aren't necessarily struggling, but you just want to know yourself better? Maybe you're an intellectually curious person who's tried to make sense of things for a while, but you aren't necessarily ill. Therapists can be unsure how to work with this as they're often pathology-based. Philosophy, which ponders the deeper "whys" of things, can help--but it can be overwhelming without a guide. We, as a team, can examine where you are and where you want to go to better refine your personal goals.

When we desire self-improvement, change is always possible, however it is not always easy. If you find yourself reverting to the familiar yet unhelpful patterns of thought and/or behavior you may feel stuck, however your efforts are not futile, and you certainly are not alone. I aim to empower my clients through acceptance, understanding, empathy, and challenge as we work together to navigate new ways of moving through life in order to achieve your goals.
