I am an experienced psychotherapist who finds the therapeutic relationship to be a mutually meaningful experience. I have a direct, interactive approach to feelings that worry you & take up unwanted space in your mind & body. I prioritize feelings of self care & self health. I am interested in your current life experience, relationships & history. I guide you towards finding solutions that feel under your control & genuine to your identity. I help by working on personal & institutional trauma, which over looked can lead to self neglect, abuse & addiction. In sessions, positive energy & humor help you to feel in control & connected.

Everyday we tell ourselves stories through our thoughts. These stories stem from our lived experiences, which are inseparable from our cultural identities. Life challenges like chronic stress, relationship issues, trauma, and grief can cause intense feelings of fear, anger, mistrust, loneliness, and sadness within ourselves, leading to detachment and difficulty feeling joy. I believe restoring genuine relationships and community is just as powerful. Together we will explore tools to change what you can, and intentionally accept the unchangeable in a compassionate space.

As a therapist, I have experience working with diverse populations and in a variety of settings, such as hospitals, chemical dependency treatment centers, behavioral clinics, and universities.

I fully believes in every individual’s ability to heal from traumas and access untapped strength that can aid in overcoming adversities.

My areas of expertise include behavioral issues, childhood trauma, insecure attachments, familial issues, relationship issues, depression, and anxiety.

"Transformation is a process, and as life happens there are tons of up and downs. It's a journey of discovery - there are moments on mountaintops and moments in deep valleys of despair"- Rick Warren. We all struggle with past or present situations that can get in the way of us living our lives wholeheartedly and that have an impact on the connection with oneself and others. Whenever you are going through a difficult time and you are confused about what is your next step, connecting with a trained therapist can be very helpful.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in psychotherapy for adults with depression, anxiety, self-esteem difficulties, problems coping with trauma, relationship issues, and general life stressors. My approach to therapy is rooted in cognitive behavioral theory (CBT) but personalized to address each individual's strengths, needs, and goals. I know that finding the right therapist can be a difficult process - and it's important to find the right "match," both in terms of style and specialization. I offer free initial phone consultations so that we can discuss your needs and assess this fit.

Because people are not defined by a diagnosis or demographic, I don't specialize-I individualize. I have extensive experience helping clients identify personal and professional goals while helping them focus on maintaining present commitments and expectations. Within a structured conversation, it is possible to address barriers-situational and emotional-and effectively develop a realistic plan for creating desired changes. I enjoy combining insight oriented psycho-dynamic therapy with the goal setting aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy.

Are worries and fears hindering you from living your desired life? Does your mind wander between the past and future, making it difficult to stay present? If you're ready to break free from these patterns and develop a healthier relationship with your worries and fears, you're in the right place. I'm here to support you on this transformative journey.

I work with each client to identify sources of distress and dissatisfaction in their lives, and to overcome obstacles to living a healthy and happy life.

I combine cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, DBT and humanistic approaches to tailor a unique therapy plan for each individual. My approach involves listening carefully and asking questions to help guide you to greater understanding about yourself and to make the changes that you seek.
