We all come to our struggles honestly. And with honesty, we can move through them. It may be a difficult relationship, too much worry, feeling stuck but not quite sure why... From a place of compassion we’ll dive into patterns of thought and relating that have been with you from your beginning and explore how they have informed and impacted your present. And with honesty, we’ll ask if they still make sense for your future.

People choose therapy because they are ready for something different than what they feel they are getting without it in their lives.
They may be experiencing feelings of anxiety, stress, may have suffered from traumatic experiences, or have a history of abuse, neglect; have feelings of isolation, loneliness, or feel anger inside without a grasp on why, or maybe they do but want to get it out.

If you’ve been moving through life feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to balance your emotional needs with cultural or family expectations, you’re not alone. Many of my clients are young adults, immigrants, or trauma survivors who have been told to be strong and not take up too much space, but are worn out from holding it all together. Some come in carrying guilt for setting boundaries, others feel emotionally numb or unsure of what they need. Many are simply seeking space to reflect and explore their inner world, or move toward meaningful change, whatever that might look like for them.

As a therapist, I work collaboratively with my clients to identify and achieve their goals. I believe that within each of us lives an innate drive towards wholeness and transformation. Some people call this drive an "inner healer". Through cultivating greater self-awareness and acceptance of the patterns and behaviors we want to change, I believe we can make way for this natural process of transformation to emerge to live life more fully and authentically.

Welcome to my practice. If we worked together, you could bring me your doubts, pains and fears. We could look into your problem behaviors and beliefs to see more clearly what drives them and what other choices you might have. We would get to know your strengths and use them. We would investigate how painful past experiences including trauma might still be affecting your reactions and choices, and try to reduce their impact. As a therapist, I am an active listener, often asking clarifying questions and inviting reflection. This exchange builds mindfulness, which I believe is essential to health.

My role is to offer a compassionate and steady space where your story is honored, your emotions are valid, and healing unfolds at your pace.

The foundation of my therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy but I also incorporate other methodologies to meet the needs of each unique individual. My approach as a therapist is flexible because I understand the importance of your individuality. My goal is for my clients to feel safe and comfortable when they start therapy whether it be their first time or they have had past experiences. My style is to be interactive and engage with my clients while providing an environment that is safe, non-judgmental and supportive. I sometimes use worksheets, recommend books and phone apps to support the work we do together.
