I specialize in PTSD & C-PTSD, Intergenerational trauma and racial, religious and immigration identity issues.
Dealing with your own pain while trying to engage fully in your life can prove to be an overwhelming task. It can leave you feeling lonely, isolated and without hope of a life beyond your painful feelings and experiences. The people I work with often struggle navigating through racial and religious identity issues while also trying to manage intense and difficult emotions. They can find it hard to deal with behaviors or thoughts that negatively impact their lives. They often want a chance to recognize, address and heal from the root of these emotions in the hopes of gaining control of their lives.

Do you feel there’s something more for you in the world, but don’t know what it is or how to get to it? Do emotional difficulties like anxiety, depression, and trauma symptoms make this seem impossible? My mission as a therapist is to build an authentic, trusting relationship where you’ll feel safe to explore who you are and what you want. Feeling secure, heard, and accepted is the starting point for working through any struggles holding you back. I work most often with college students, young professionals, and teens/pre-teens, on issues like anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and depression. I also find it rewarding to work with couples.

Working through these obstacles in therapy is incredibly valuable because trauma happens and is healed in relationships.
Whether you're struggling with something specific, or coming to therapy to improve your well being and better know yourself, I work with clients to remove the obstacles and uncover the innate healing wisdom we all possess. I specialize in supporting clients recovering from childhoods in which they were expected to play a parental role from an early age learning to set boundaries and reconnect with themselves. Together, we'll create a non-judgmental space in which you can feel both supported and challenged.

I have extensive experience with patients managing complex trauma.
It can be overwhelming searching for a therapist. Being vulnerable with another person can be scary, even if they are a professional. This is why I’m aware that the first step of any healing process is the creation of a safe and caring space for my patients. I work well with people who struggle with overwhelming feelings, such as shame, low self-worth, depression, anxiety, hypersensitivity, emotional dysregulation, and/or have difficulty in their relationships or with intimacy.

I work with adolescents, adults, couples, specializing in anxiety, depression, anger, jealousy, shame, self-esteem, identity issues, relationship conflicts, parenting, intimacy, communication, loss, life-transitions, trauma.
Let's face it, life can be difficult. Sometimes emotions and circumstances feel overwhelming. Therapy offers a way to untangle your feelings and behaviors, offering the relief and distance needed to make sense of whatever is the matter, and process getting out from under it. As a therapist, I am active and engaged. We will collaborate to explore what's most distressing, and how best to resolve what is in your way, (whether emotional, relational, historical, professional,) to ultimately make meaningful, lasting changes that will allow you to feel invigorated and motivated to have the life you want and deserve.
