As a psychologist with a passion for supporting young adults, I’ve had the privilege of working in college mental health settings at institutions like MIT, Tufts, and Boston College. My experience spans all ages, allowing me to connect with people at different life stages. I specialize in LGBTQ psychology and have a strong foundation in women’s and gender issues. I thrive on exploring cultural identities and helping individuals navigate their journeys, whether it’s related to gender and sexuality, race and ethnicity, or the challenges of emerging adulthood. I’m also highly skilled in treating anxiety, depression, and postpartum MH.
My approach is rooted in psychodynamic therapy viewed through a multicultural lens. Together, we'll explore the deeper emotional roots of your challenges while equipping you with strategies to navigate life’s complexities. Whether you’re seeking personal growth or relief from distress, my goal is to create a supportive environment where you'll thrive.
As a first-generation, bilingual Armenian American woman, I deeply understand how cultural identities influence mental health and experiences of marginalization. I believe this insight is a powerful asset in our work together. Therapy can be a transformative journey, and I’m here to support your growth and healing every step of the way.
