My journey with therapy has been lifelong. I started attending therapy during the tender years of my youth. Throughout my time in the therapy room as a client, I was able to discover and rediscover not only myself, but also many internalized and transgenerational patterns I carried. As I grew and continued to engage in introspection I began to feel profoundly more whole. I believe that therapy can unlock forgotten memories and traumas, and has the ability to heal wounded parts of one's heart with appropriate therapeutic guidance. I apply all of my previous life experiences to my therapeutic approach, I use warmth and kindness towards my clients. I will sit in the pain with you, I’ll become a witness to your pain, and through validation and understanding growth emerges and healing naturally happens. It’s a slow, but beautiful process which can be very fulfilling. Maintaining empathy and a non-judgemental view on my clients circumstances and/or decisions is imperative to my style as a therapist. My cultural exposure helps me conceptualize individuals through a global and multicultural lens, not placing anyone in one particular box. I subscribe to this healing modality as being an effective and efficient tool in one’s journey towards self-healing and self-discovery.

​

Outside of therapy-land I tend to lead a colorful life filled with storytelling, robust laughter, and adventures. I have a passion for cooking, being in nature, and international traveling.  I love spending time at home with my husband and our 4 year old hound-mix cozied up by the fireplace. I enjoy staying in touch with global affairs and listening to podcasts. I am a social justice advocate and lover of all people. I have a fondness for interior design, gardening, and Netflix . All in all, therapists are humans too: some days are better than others, and I truly believe that practicing gratitude has helped me appreciate life so much more.

​

I assist clients who are experiencing a range of presenting concerns including: Those who experience relationship issues, trauma, women’s issues, grief/loss, major life transitions, couples and family issues, depression and/or suicidal ideation, anxiety and/or panic attacks, gender related dyanmics or questions, lack of emotional or sexual fulfillment, a longing for purpose or direction, and loneliness and more. As a woman of color born to immigrant parents, I work with people of all backgrounds, and am pleased to welcome anyone who identifies as being part of any racial, ethnic, religious, or sexual minority groups.
