Have you reached that critical point in your life where you find yourself lost in a dark place, unable to find your way forward? Are you frustrated that nothing in your life seems to be working out the way you hoped? Perhaps you are feeling sad or have lost a sense of meaning or purpose. You may be weighed down by worry, gripped with hopelessness, or wrestling with memories of events you wish you could forget. You have tried to cope with your feelings in ways that only make things worse. You feel harried, worn out, miserable, and confused. You’ve asked yourself if anyone can really help. If any of this sounds familiar, let's talk.

I think that therapy doesn’t have to be complicated. As a client you can expect to highlight your strengths, speak to your individual experience in a non-judgmental environment, receive unconditional support from someone you trust, and learn new ways to lessen your pain. Therapy is a wonderfully transformative venture, where two people collaborate on how to navigate the human experience. My approach is strengths-based, person-first, and multifaceted to meet your specific needs.

I work with clients by utilizing their strengths in order to find solutions to their emotional and behavioral concerns. Utilizing Cognitive Behavioral techniques that are individualized to your needs and focusing on a collaborative relationship we will work together to improve your ability to cope with life's stressors. We will identify the negative thought patterns that interfere with your ability to reach your maximum potential by learning more adaptive thought patterns that don't interfere with what you hope to accomplish.

I specialize in working with young adults and adults who experience anxiety or depression and who want to find balance through the challenges that come with life transitions (e.g., surrounding relationships, work, parenthood, school). Given my own international upbringing and my experience in multicultural counseling, I also enjoy working with clients of diverse or international backgrounds, and people who seek to better integrate or explore different aspects of their socio-cultural identities.

For most people taking the step to start working on therapeutic goals can be intimidating. I pride myself in utilizing a collaborative approach to treatment that meets clients where they are while also celebrating the progress they make along the way. I firmly believe that within each person lies the key to improving their own mental wellbeing. I help clients find strength within themselves by unearthing their personal key and then apply it to their life. As a therapist and supervisor I focus on family, couples and children's therapy, especially working with neurodivergence and the full autism spectrum using evidence-based models.

The best way to contact me is via email. I am a licensed psychologist and an ADHD-certified clinical services provider. I specialize in ADHD/ASD evaluations, anxiety, social anxiety, depression, executive functioning challenges, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and social communication-related issues.

In addition, I provide executive functioning coaching, social thinking training, and parent training.

I take a cognitive behavioral approach to helping my clients gain personal insight and to make behavioral changes. Depression, anxiety, and relationship issues can interfere with problem solving. Together we can explore options, develop problem solving techniques, and coping mechanisms that will help you feel more in control of your self and your situation. My style is informal and relaxed. Ideal clients are those that are committed to making changes and who are willing to fully participate in the therapeutic relationship.

Are you an adult or teen who feels overwhelmed symptoms of depression and anxiety? Have you been through a traumatic experience and feel helpless, scared, and alone? If any of this resonates with you, you may have noticed feeling distant and cut off from the world; or, you may have noticed feeling very reactive and engaging in impulsive behaviors. These feelings can be overcome with the right support. If we worked together, I would create a safe space for you to both process your feelings and learn skills that will help you regulate your emotions. Learning to overcome these feelings can be done; You can get better!

Life can feel so heavy and confusing, and if you’ve experienced traumas or challenges it will feel even heavier. I practice warm and genuine therapy for teens and young adults as they navigate the world, their mental health, relationships, and major life transitions. Whether new to therapy or looking for a different approach, I strive to build the supportive relationship with clients as they heal and understand their own unique life experiences.

Life is not easy and I believe most people would benefit from someone impartial to help navigate that uneasiness.

The goal of my practice is to create a collaborative relationship where people can identify goals, reduce stress, and find peace. My practice is designed to assist people in all circumstances: whether you need to address something that happened years ago, a recent life event, or you just want guidance on living your best life.

I am glad you found me. You are not alone, nor do not have to journey through this next chapter alone. Life can be filled with seasons of suffering, pain and change that too often result in anxiety, depression, trauma, disconnection and isolation. All of us can face these seasons in life that are highly difficult, but within these experiences it is possible to find deep resilience, healing and growth. I am passionate about helping individuals, couples and families create a path forward towards the life and relationships that you envision with yourself, your partner or your family.
