With over a decade of experience in working with children, teens, and adults, I am experienced in working with behavioral challenges, at risk youth, Autism (ABA), and women and male experiencing domestic violence.
Is your child struggling? Is your relationship feeling disconnected?
The meltdowns, the anxiety, the behaviors that leave you exhausted. Or maybe it's the distance between you and your partner. Two people in the same house feeling miles apart. You know something needs to change, but you're tired of navigating it alone.
My approach is quiet and steady. I create a low-pressure space where children and couples can ease into the process without feeling overwhelmed or put on the spot. For children who shut down with big personalities or clients who've felt steamrolled in therapy before, I use a calm, low pressure approach.

I'm open to clients from all walks of life but I specialize in culturally-sensitive and culturally-adaptive techniques regarding migrant & refugee issues, first-gen Americans, family and domestic violence, PTSD, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
I could throw a lot of buzzwords at you about holistic care, mindfulness, and wellness but you've likely read enough of that by the time you've gotten here. So I'd rather be honest: In a world that feels so unauthentic right now, I strive to provide a space where you can speak freely and process what is going on with you and around you. I am a firm believer everyone is the master of their own experience, and therapy can be used as a tool to focus on changes you want to make and help you cope with it all. My goal is for you to show up each session willing to dive deep and make those shifts.

The effects of narcissistic abuse and relationship trauma often extend far beyond the relationship itself.
Many of the people I work with have spent years trying to push through the pain on their own. They've learned to function despite the anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional exhaustion. Rather than focusing only on symptom management, EMDR allows us to address the experiences that continue to shape how you think, feel, and relate to yourself and others.

Domestic Abuse Therapists
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.
When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.
What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.
How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
