Adulting is hard! Sometimes it might feel like you’re on a roller coaster when experiencing the challenges adulthood might bring. Different moments of adulthood can bring big transitions you're trying to adjust to. Maybe you're experiencing feelings of anxiety, burn out, depression, overwhelm, stress, hopeless, and/or like you're "stuck". Perhaps you want a change but don't know where to start. That's where therapy comes in! How you're feeling today doesn't have to be permanent - change can happen. And that change can begin today.

Let’s face it: being human is hard. Even when “everything is ok,” we live at one million miles per minute resulting in stress, anxiety, and overwhelm. I am an avid believer that we are all capable of living the lives we want, but sometimes we need someone to support us by means of facilitating exploration, understanding, and acceptance of ourselves and circumstances. "Satisfaction" is not attained by "perfection," rather, it stems from the ability to confidently navigate challenges through value driven decision making. Furthermore, as our lives change and we evolve across the lifespan, this process is likely to change.

Do you feel “stuck” in cycles of unwanted patterns and feel unsure of how to get out?

I am here to meet you exactly where you are, as exactly who you are, to help navigate through all of life's obstacles.

Areas that I work with include body positivity/ body image, sex positivity, LGBTQ+, self-harm, anxiety, stress and trauma.
What would it feel like to give yourself space to sit with and explore emotions, memories, and thoughts instead of avoiding or changing them? While acknowledging that I cannot determine whether a space is safe or not, I strive to offer a space of non-judgement, validation, compassion and growth where you can get to know yourself more, build insight and acknowledgement of your strengths, and talk about whatever you need to for fifty minutes.

Many of the individuals and couples I work with experience anxiety, professional/work-related stress, interpersonal relationship issues, life transitions, depression, and unresolved trauma. Often, clients are looking to reflect on their personal and family history, build self-awareness, process everyday stressors, and/or develop coping skills. In my work with clients, I seek to establish a supportive, empathetic, and consistent relationship that will be the foundation for deep introspection and growth.

Do you struggle with anxiety that is starting to affect your day-to-day life? Has trauma interfered with your ability to function? Do you feel exhausted by just getting through the day? Do you wonder if life could feel better? Now more than ever, people are feeling overwhelmed by the idea that there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Not addressing the challenges in your life can lead to feeling disconnected from yourself or others, falling behind at work/school, and general feelings of stress. I firmly believe that people can evolve and that there is hope for everyone to reach their fullest potential.

In addition to addressing general issues and stress, I specialize in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Anxiety Disorders (including Social Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Specific Phobias/Fears, and Generalized Anxiety/Worry), and Hypochondriasis/Health Anxiety. By focusing on these few specialties I am able to provide effective treatment to help you better manage your moods, identify and change problematic thinking patterns, and stop self-destructive or unwanted behaviors--all of which can contribute to a greater sense of calm and self-confidence.

This a group practice that employs clinicans of various ethnicities and backgrounds. People come to therapy due to feeling excessive stress at work, at home, or in their relationships. They find the pressures of everyday life have exceeded their abilities, overwhelmed their senses, and left them with an inability to cope. They are often having problems with school, completing tasks, getting along with others at work, and finding activities enjoyable. We believe in the resiliency of the human spirit, and that therapy is a process of exploring and getting to know oneself.

I specialize in stress, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, and people-pleasing.
On the outside you appear calm and steady, on the inside you feel tense and preoccupied, pushing aside your own needs to attend to the issue in front of you. You're high functioning, yet you hold yourself back from fully engaging with others and your own interests. Maybe you don’t even know what you enjoy because you’ve been so focused on prioritizing others. You find yourself going about your routines and trying to feel relief, but your current ways of operating are contributing to a build up of stress. Maybe you’ve limited your world, told yourself what you can and cannot do, and now you’re wondering how much you can change.
