Do you struggle with your relationship to food and your body in ways that affect your daily life? Maybe you’re navigating a major life transition, like becoming a parent, and feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and unsure where to turn. You might find yourself wondering if life could feel more grounded, joyful, and connected. In a world that often feels chaotic and lacking in meaningful support, it’s easy to feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, disconnection, or self-criticism. But healing is possible.

I specialize in working with adults navigating familial conflict, low self-esteem, anxiety, and relationship distress stemming from childhood trauma and cultural complexities. I also have an interest in working with immigrant professionals and students, building lives across cultures, and balancing dual identities.
As a woman of color, I understand how cultural expectations can affect individuals and manifest as beliefs, patterns, and behaviors that may not serve us; therefore, we will navigate these concerns together in a way that allows you to uphold your cultural values while building a strong sense of self.

Although I work with a wide range of client problems, I specialize in working with LGBTQ clients, addictions and substance use, codependency, depression and anxiety, and couples therapy.
Are you sick of therapy that just feels like venting? You want more than someone simply nodding while you spiral—you want real, actionable change. Many of the thoughts quietly running your life were handed to you by family, religion, or society. Along the way, you picked them up and called them truth. I know what it’s like to confuse distorted thinking for self-awareness—believing "I must be perfect" or "I am broken." As an openly gay therapist, I’ve navigated these narratives personally. Together, we will dismantle the beliefs keeping you stuck, creating a safe space to actively heal from minority stress and shame.

You may look like you are doing fine on the outside but feel anxious, frustrated, or unsettled on the inside. Many of the people I work with feel stuck repeating the same relationship patterns, overthinking their choices, or losing themselves while trying to keep others comfortable. My work focuses on slowing things down, understanding what is really happening beneath the surface, and helping you make changes that feel possible rather than overwhelming.

I believe that the changes that occur through therapy are linked to the relationship between client and therapist and the client's development of insight. People come to therapy feeling unsure and insecure, repeating the same frustrating patterns again and again without the outcomes they hope for. We will work together to help you move out of unhealthy cycles that are no longer serving you. I have trained in and utilize multiple approaches, but primarily draw from Psychodynamic Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy.

I offer a grounded, soulful container for healing through a feminine (embodied) lens. Our work may include exploring dreams, unconscious beliefs, relational wounds, and somatic experiences. These hold intelligence and wisdom that can guide you toward wholeness.

If you find yourself feeling like the ground beneath your feet is about to crumble, you are not alone. I can offer a safe and nonjudgmental space where we can work together to find your balance.

I believe meaningful change begins with feeling seen, heard, and understood. Together, we'll explore the patterns and experiences that no longer serve you and discover new ways of relating to yourself and others.

Because healing can happen in many ways, I also offer Walk and Talk therapy for clients who prefer to reflect and process while moving outdoors.

Life can throw a lot at you. It is okay to not be okay. Worry, grief, loss, stress, anger, hurt, and other intense feelings can be overwhelming and also leave you feeling stuck and isolated.

I've been privileged to work with individuals and couples seeking support for issues around intimacy and relationships, codependency, anxiety, depression, inner child healing, cultural identity, trauma, and life transitions.
Whatever it is that brings you to therapy, I stand by the commitment, “I’m here with you.” I believe that each of our stories are equally sacred as they are unique and see therapy as an opportunity to cultivate curiosity for ourselves and to let go of self-judgement. Taking a Psychodynamic approach, I aim to help my clients unravel, experience, and understand themselves more deeply, through building awareness, flexibility, and the capacity to make change. Humor, authenticity, and the willingness to experiment is foundational to my approach.

What therapy types help with codependency problems?
Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.
What happens in therapy for codependency?
Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.
How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?
Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.
What is the goal of therapy for codependency?
One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
