Ever wanted to break the cycle of trauma? Now is the time. As a daughter of immigrant parents, a working mother, and a wife, I can see your resiliency and grit. Getting to this point has been challenging, but guess what? You're doing it. With over 15 years of working in this field, I have the skills to provide high-quality individual therapy and develop comprehensive goals tailored to each client's unique needs. I have dedicated myself to improving the lives of individuals struggling with an array of mental health problems (i.e., depression, anxiety, childhood abuse, low self-esteem, etc.) and with a diverse set of backgrounds.

I believe that you have the innate capacity to heal, develop, and grow. Entering therapy takes courage and commitment so it will be my first priority is to create feelings of safety and trust. From this base we can work together to identify inner conflicts, clarify beliefs, and release limiting patterns to support you in living a more authentic and fulfilling life. I work with individuals, couples, adolescents, and families. I treat anxiety and depression, trauma grief and loss, life stage transitions, parenting issues, co-dependency, and gambling addictions.

We often find ourselves stuck in old patterns that no longer serve us. This can lead to feelings of restlessness, uncertainty, resentment, and loneliness. You may crave to feel seen and valued for all that you are. Perhaps you seek a sense of love and security. I am proud of you for taking the steps to heal. I view the therapeutic relationship as the foundation of healing. I hold a safe space by leading with curiosity, empathy, humor, and compassion. I will meet you with patience wherever you are on your journey and will not push you towards quick fixes.

On the surface, the world sees you as the one who ‘always has it together’ - but on the inside, you’re starting to feel like you’re falling apart. You feel like you're working overtime to push down those uncomfortable feelings (you know, the ones that have always been lurking in the background) - except no matter how hard you try, you’re finding yourself more anxious, ungrounded, and on edge than ever before. You want your body to feel more at ease. You want to feel more connected (to yourself, to others). You want to see (and trust) what others see. But, you’re just not sure how.

Are you looking for a therapist who does more than just listen? I strive to understand; and to help you understand. I help clients stay focused on what they want MORE of in their lives. We also pay attention to what obstacles and maladaptive coping mechanisms are at play. While it is essential to learn to be present with what is currently happening, our work will sometimes reach to heal the past. This gives you the freedom and inner spaciousness to reach toward a better future.

Ask yourself, why did you choose now to seek help/therapy? Is it because you thought to yourself “I think I need to talk to someone?” My motivation to be a therapist is to be that anchor or sounding board to help you through life’s stressors. I enjoy empowering individuals with the necessary tools and resources that will allow them to engage in a healthy and self-sufficient lifestyle. I hope to be an ongoing advocate for the importance of therapy whether it is for short-term goals or for on-going support.

Engaging in therapy is a courageous, empowering choice. I believe the foundations of a healing, productive therapeutic relationship are trust, authenticity, and collaboration. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgemental space to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to build insight into and change painful or unskillful patterns. I seek to help you illuminate stories you tell yourself about your emotional experiences and to shift narratives that aren’t serving you to build a joyful, connected, fulfilling life. My approach is eclectic and strengths-based, drawing from an array of modalities tailored to your unique needs and goals.
