As a person, do you find yourself struggling to maintain a balance between fulfilling spiritual, cultural, familial and societal obligations? Do you feel like you have lost your sense of identity while juggling such obligations? In a world full of unrealistic and forced expectations, people often are accused of being rebellious, guilty or selfish when they choose to focus on themselves and their needs. Secretly battling and wounded, many people find themselves to be depressed, anxious, angry, disappointed and unfulfilled.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. As the daughter of immigrant parents, I understand the complexities of intergenerational trauma. The weight of cultural and societal expectations can take a toll on one’s mental health. Family & religious pressure can also negatively affect our identity and self-perception. I believe that no matter what our past has given us or what our future holds, we are capable of working through our life challenges. I help clients embrace their authentic selves while navigating intergenerational trauma, perfectionism, family conflict, & life transitions like divorce.

I am passionate about helping individuals and couples thrive in reaching their goals by building on their strengths and identifying new and creative ways to adjust to difficult situations and circumstances. "People come for therapy not to change their past but their future." a quote by Milton Erickson inspires us to view therapy as a way to manage change.

I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, nervous system dysregulation, and identity strain related to work/school stress, ADHD, learning differences, narcissistic abuse, and major life transitions. Many of my clients are high-achieving professionals, parents, or caregivers who previously relied on overworking or perfectionism to cope strategies that no longer work and often lead to burnout, shame, or a loss of self-worth.

I specialize in outsiders, those who think differently, live intensely, or feel too unconventional for standard therapy. From high performers to those hearing voices: if your thoughts run deep, your moods run strong, or your experiences feel unusual, you’re in the right place. I’ve helped clients stabilize mood swings, overcome depression, manage hallucinations, and earn promotions. Having faced PTSD myself, I know how dark life can seem, and how hope can return. Together, we’ll play detective, unearth the roots of your struggles, and create interventions that fit your mind. Accepting new clients. In-person sessions available.

You’re capable and high-functioning, but something’s off. You feel disconnected: from others, from purpose, maybe even from yourself. You’re not falling apart, but you’re not thriving either. I work with people who are navigating identity, pressure, and emotional barriers they’ve carried for years. If you’re ready for a direct, grounded approach that doesn’t waste your time, I’m here for it. I don’t believe in sugar-coating. My style is direct, intuitive, and rooted in reality. Therapy with me is about showing up honestly and doing the work that matters.

I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to have their mental wellness cultivated, and I hope to provide that space for you in our meetings. I have spent the past six years as a therapist supporting a variety of mental health needs. And now, I feel so lucky to work within a collaborative group practice (fun fact - my husband is a therapist there too). But I believe an equally valuable part of my journey to being in mental health has been as a counseling client myself, learning first-hand what it is like for those who sit with me in session.

I have a deep desire to help others find happiness and fulfillment in their lives and to overcome personal obstacles. My passion is to walk alongside those who entrust me with their healing journey. The guidance one receives through counseling is about becoming able to heal one’s self. This journey is often difficult and sometimes even painful, but the results are life changing. It is important to me to collaborate with my clients to create an open and safe environment in which to explore and communicate.

Feeling stuck, triggered, or numb can be overwhelming. You don’t have to face it alone. I support adults working through trauma responses so they can reconnect with clarity, steadiness, and safety. I specialize in complex trauma, including sexual assault, narcissistic abuse, & growing up with emotionally immature parents. I also support those w/moral injury—when people you care about seem unfazed by shifts in values, leaving you feeling divided and longing for deeper understanding. These experiences often show up as anxiety, shame, guilt, self‑doubt, low self‑worth, trust issues, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others.

I work with clients from all walks of life in navigating this chaotic world we find ourselves in. We often rely on coping skills and beliefs about ourselves that reinforce feelings of sadness or worry rather than relieve them just to survive day to day. Through a warm, often humorous, and always open-minded person centered approach, I am here to help you examine what does and does not serve you to create or find new ways to approach life so that you can start thriving rather than surviving.

You’re here because you need help. Depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and relationship dysfunction can stifle and hide the person that you truly are. At times you might feel trapped, overwhelmed, or isolated, but throughout it all a part of you knows that there is still something inspiring and true inside you. What stops you from being your authentic self when alone or around others? What stops you from knowing how to meet your own needs? This is what I can help you explore. I want to help you shed what is holding you back and illuminate pain that keeps you comfortably stagnant. I want the world to meet who you are.

Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT) Therapists
What should I expect from rational emotive behavior therapy?
The therapist will work with the individual to recognize rigid thought patterns that sabotage goals and set them back. The objective is to identify, challenge and reframe negative thoughts and enable an individual to understand that they possess control over their emotions and their behavior. This therapy often emphasizes the use of reasoning and self-direction.
Is rational emotive behavior therapy effective?
Rational emotive behavior therapy is evidence-based and is highly effective. It helps a person reframe self-defeating or catastrophizing thoughts and gives them tools to approach a range of circumstances they may encounter post-therapy as well. REBT can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
When do I know if I need treatment with rational emotive behavior therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with rigid, unreasonable thoughts that dwell in negativity, they may feel stuck. A rational emotive behavior therapist can help a person examine and change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior. This concise and concrete therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
How long does rational emotive behavior therapy last?
REBT therapy treatment is short-term and focused in nature. It can last for a set number of sessions, ending within a few weeks or months. Like any type of therapy, however, sessions depend on the individual, as well as the severity of their condition or problem. The individual may wish to ask the therapist about typical progress and how long they expect treatment to take.
