Hello :) I am currently accepting new clients. I envision working with individuals seeking support in various aspects of their lives. Many of my clients grapple with setting boundaries, struggling to balance their own needs with those of others. They seek guidance in developing assertiveness and self-advocacy skills. Additionally, I work with those navigating significant life transitions, feeling uncertain or overwhelmed by changes, and seeking clarity, direction, and support in making informed decisions that align with their values and aspirations.

I really believe in the power of someone feeling heard and understood. From that, we create healing. We will create a safe space where you can feel really present and you and I can explore together the issues that bring you to therapy. I will ask questions and help you think differently, and also open the possibility of changing your behavior.

I enjoy working with clients who demonstrate motivation, whether or not they have already defined their goals for therapy. With training in counseling and behavioral medicine, I welcome individuals from late adolescence through adulthood, especially those wishing to discuss cultural--including LGBTQ+--identities, chronic illness, anxiety, ADHD, and parenting concerns. I realize that people have different feelings about mental health for legitimate reasons. I invite you to explore those concerns with me in a supportive environment, free from judgment. Coming from a Multicultural lens, I recognize that you are the expert of your life.

We have all been tested by a global pandemic. You may have found yourself using unhealthy ways to cope to manage increased stress and anxiety (overeating, having an extra glass of wine, arguing with family members, throwing yourself into work, worrying, isolating yourself). When things go wrong (divorce, job stress/loss, medical challenges, financial pressures, death of loved ones) many people become self-critical, negative, and avoidant. The way we navigate these challenging times can determine whether we build inner strength and gain wisdom or bear the consequences of unrelenting standards, self-criticism and disconnection.

If you have experienced a trauma, I would love to work with you. Helping clients heal from trauma, which includes managing their stress and anxiety, is my area of expertise. Additionally, I’ll work with you to improve your self-esteem, improve your quality of sleep, and strengthen your relationships with others. This is especially true with couples (e.g., positive communication, strengthening bonds, improving sexual health/managing intimacy issues). In addition to individuals who have experienced sexual trauma, I particularly enjoy working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community, children and adolescents, families, and couples.
