Does it sometimes feel like you’re stuck in the darkness and it’s hard to see where to go next? Do you want to increase a sense of connectedness in your life and relationships? If so, therapy can be a safe harbor from which to slow down and cast a light in your internal life and find ways to live more authentically. I have helped individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, complex trauma, life transitions and relational issues live life more fully. I also have experience helping immigrant and Latinx clients navigate challenges. I believe in each person's capacity to find the way to a brighter and more meaningful life.

I often treat clients with OCD, trauma, and PTSD (both complex and event-based) through an attachment-based lens.
Pain takes many forms: sorrow, anger, frustration, avoidance, etc. The pressure to be perfect is no friend to healing work, making it even more difficult to do. I want to offer a space for healing, acceptance, and vulnerability. I utilize authenticity, safety in non-judgment, and curiosity to help guide our work together. You already have all the answers. I want to help you put words to the feelings and teach you how to use the tools hidden away in the back of your mind.

Asking for help is one of the most challenging and transformational things we can do. No matter what circumstances you may be facing, my hope is that you don’t have to face it alone. I work with adults navigating through a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, identity and self-esteem issues, chronic illness, and relationship challenges. I also work with couples in addressing relationship stressors, improving communication, developing a deeper understanding for one another, and building healthier patterns together.

Many of my clients come to therapy with a growing sense of curiosity about themselves. They may not have a clear explanation for their struggles yet, but they’ve begun to notice the same patterns repeating in their lives and are wondering why. Often, they struggle with self-doubt, negative self-talk, and limiting beliefs that shape how they see themselves and relate to others. Some feel caught in perfectionism, difficulty setting boundaries, or a lingering sense of shame, and want support making sense of their experiences.

Often times when we feel stuck in our lives, it is because we are noticing a conflict in our internal world. Part of us feels one way, while another part feels very differently. It is my belief that we all enter this world with the capacity to feel grounded and at peace, yet as we experience the hardships of life, we lose connection with that inner safety. Instead, we begin to experience the burdens of shame, grief and/or loneliness; and parts of us take on roles that may show up as anxiety, perfectionism, sadness, self-criticism, dissociation - or many other symptoms, thoughts, or emotions that you find yourself struggling with.

I work with individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, relational stress, and life transitions, including high-achieving professionals and creatives in fast-paced, performance-driven environments like music, entertainment, and corporate industries. Many of my clients appear to have it all together on the outside, yet feel emotionally exhausted, stuck in patterns they can’t break, or disconnected from themselves and their relationships.

You might look successful on the outside, but inside you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Maybe you’re navigating relationship stress, burnout, life transitions, or performance issues. You want clarity, confidence, and healthier connections. Most of all, you want relief and a way forward that feels authentic and sustainable as a high-achieving individual. Central to my work is creating a space where every client feels safe, respected, and valued. I am committed to providing an inclusive and affirming environment for individuals of all identities and backgrounds.

Do you feel stuck like you’re going through the motions but not really moving forward?
Maybe you're an adult carrying the weight of past experiences, a teen feeling misunderstood at home, or someone caught in cycles of anxiety or intrusive thoughts that just won’t quiet down. If so, you’re not alone and you don’t have to navigate it by yourself. Many of my clients come to me struggling with family conflict, relationship challenges, childhood trauma, or obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.
