I meet people where they are so we can begin the journey towards a more healthy and productive life. As a bicultural, bilingual clinician, I am well aware of how important cultural and family norms are and what role these play in our daily lives. I am sensitive to inter-generational conflicts that arise due to acculturation issues. Experience working with maternal wellness, teen & adults. Envisioning a rich and rewarding life can be challenging when you are overcome by either longstanding or daily problems.

The guiding philosophy of my practice is to help people understand themselves in the service of personal development within the context of a safe and reliable relationship with another person. I believe that deep and rich self-examination requires rigorous and systematic pursuit on the part of both therapist and patient as they work together. My philosophy places a high value on curiosity, creativity, purposeful aims, tolerance of discomfort, and the strength for meaningful work and satisfying relationships. These are experienced or learned through the medium of the psychotherapeutic relationship.

Life can be beautiful and it can also be extremely challenging. During hard times, it can really make a difference to have a safe and supportive space. I'm honored to offer an inclusive space where you can be yourself and process the difficult things in life. Sometimes, experiences from our past have more power over our present than we would like them to. Other times, we might not be aware of how our past is influencing us in our daily life, but we may struggle with self-limiting or critical beliefs, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, difficulty regulating emotions, and relationship problems.

Anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, unhealthy relationships-these are the situations in life that may lead us to forget how strong, resilient, courageous and joyful we can be. Still, people also have an amazing power to heal, rebuild, and pick themselves up from negative circumstances and fully experience a better life. I see therapy as a journey toward viewing life from the perspective of our wisest, most compassionate and capable selves.

Be it dealing with interpersonal relationship concerns, parenting, addiction, abuse, adoption, attachment, trauma, emerging from domestic violence, sexual assault healing, or troubles associated with illness or loss.
My primary goal is to help people who feel stuck, either in unproductive communication patterns or conflicts that threaten their most important relationships. I place great value on being a compassionate, non-judgmental, responsive collaborator, uncovering clients' strengths, unrecognized needs, new or under-utilized talents and problem solving abilities. I find that this approach helps most clients come "unstuck" and reach their goals in a gentle and supportive process. I use Brainspotting with clients for resolving traumatic experiences, PTSD, attachment and anxiety. I also use trauma-sensitive HeartMath tools.

My clientele seek help with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, couples distress, trauma, parenting difficulties, relationship conflict, and major life transitions. Although I tailor the treatment plan to meet each couple's or individual's needs, the majority of my interventions are drawn from the cognitive-behavioral toolset. I seek to understand strengths, as well as the problems that bring people into my office. Using well-timed humor, relevant research information, and meaningful feedback, I collaboratively design treatment plans that feel "doable." Usually, my clients feel relief in the first few sessions.

Anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties often get in the way of being at our best. Problems concerning anger, assertiveness, sexuality, spirituality and finding one's way in life are also more frequent than many realize. To be unshackled from these limiting psychological factors is to be quickened to growth and awakened to live out one's unique idiom. This results in more joyful aliveness, inspiration, and peace -- magnifying the difference you make in your life and in the world.

You might be at a point in your life where things look “fine” on the outside—but internally, something feels unclear, unsettled, or ready to shift. Maybe you're navigating a transition: a relationship ending or beginning, a career change, a move, a shift in identity, or simply a growing awareness that the life you’ve been living no longer fully fits. These moments can feel disorienting, but they can also be deeply meaningful opportunities to reconnect with who you are and who you are becoming.

Life can feel really hard at times—whether you’re facing the ups and downs of pregnancy or postpartum, grieving a miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss, or in need of parenting support. Maybe you’re struggling with food and body image, dealing with an eating disorder, or feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or ADHD. Many of the people I work with want a nonjudgmental space to share and process what they’re experiencing; they want to feel more connected to themselves and want help in making changes that bring relief and hope.

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.
