Are you excited to chat about your sex addiction, porn addiction & intimacy issues? If you said "yes," you'd be the first. Unfortunately, these issues may be running your life. And that corrosive shame deep in your bones? It's likely rooted in trauma (I'll be shocked if it's not). Fortunately, through attachment work, EMDR & other modalities, we can heal emotional wounds and move you toward recovery & wholeness. I also work with couples because I learned in grad school that, apparently, relationships are hard. There's infidelity, betrayal trauma, mismatched libidos, the fact that your partner talks to his mom nine times a day…

Are you struggling to move forward after a significant loss or life change? Do you wonder if you’ll ever feel “good enough” or if you will find peace again? These questions often emerge during times of grief, trauma, transition, or as a result of attachment ruptures and can feel intensely overwhelming. Life may seem to move relentlessly forward, yet you’re left feeling stuck, isolated, or unsure of navigating your next steps. Coping strategies & tools that once worked might now feel frustratingly inadequate, leaving you adrift. Together, we can explore a path toward healing, clarity, and reconnection with the life you want to live.

Welcome. If you feel like the ground beneath your feet is shifting (or gone!) and you’re looking for someone with not just the clinical skills but the lived experience to support you – I’d like to be on your team. I’m a multi-cultural, queer, neurodivergent and trauma-sensitive psychotherapist and social worker who’s been a life-long immigrant and "self-reinventor", both by necessity and choice. I'll draw from Neurobiology, Attachment, Parts Work and Somatics as we move through grief, trauma, stuckness, identity, anxiety, and anything else that requires our attention; all at the pace that's right for your individual nervous system.

Trauma wraps itself around us, binding our bodies, our relationships, the way we see the world. It teaches us to survive but often at the cost of feeling truly alive. I know what it means to carry that weight—I’ve felt it too. But I’ve also felt the unbinding, the breath of freedom and joy that healing brings. It’s not simple or clean—it’s raw, messy, beautiful work. Maybe you feel stuck, circling the same patterns, carrying burdens too heavy to name. Maybe your walls feel safe but keep you from connection. Together, we’ll peel back the layers, rediscover your spark, and rebuild a life that feels like home. Let’s begin.

Seeing BCBS & UHC Medicare Advantage! I am here to work with you to develop resilience against anxiety, depression---and any other painful or distressing issue. I am hoping for you to have a happy, creative, and productive life in a world full of challenges. Many patients need to verbalize their fears to be able to look at their situation from multiple perspectives. You can face the irrational aspects of worrisome thoughts. We can consider your prior coping mechanisms, to be replaced by more adaptive coping tools. Let's think of your life today and forward, accepting yourself more, and understanding how to deal with others.

Do you feel like you’re always there for others but struggle to find space for your own needs? Are you navigating life transitions like moving from teen to adulthood, battling anxiety, or wrestling with body image concerns? I work with teens and adults who often feel disconnected—from themselves, their loved ones, or their goals. Together, we can uncover your values, needs, and desires, while rewriting unhelpful narratives that have held you back.

If you feel like you have tried everything and nothing works, I get you! I strongly believe that we all have an inner wisdom deep within us, but through our life experiences and social influences, most of us lose access to this inner healer. In our work together I will guide and support you as we peel back the layers so that you can reconnect with your deeper sense of self. As you begin to make that connection, shift happens. My intention is for you to feel empowered in your healing journey.

I’m going to try to talk to you exactly like I’d talk to my best friend. Look, it can be hard to be a person. And it’s even harder to be a person who knows themselves well and loves that person with compassion, kindness, and understanding. That’s basically what I do. I come alongside the people I work with to help them build a better relationship with themselves. Together, we move away from self-criticism, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and anxiety and we move toward a balanced, fulfilling, connected life. Is this resonating? You absolutely do not have to be alone with this any more. You are my people and I want to work with you!
