I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) I have experience working with adults and immigrant populations who are navigating challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, grief, and chronic illness. As an immigrant, I can empathize with the unique obstacles faced by those adapting to a new environment and a different way of life. I take a client-centered, culturally responsive approach that recognizes each individual's distinct needs and experiences. I have experience working with individuals navigating both past traumas and the challenges of adjusting to a life that may differ from their previous expectations. I have also worked in hospital settings, supporting patients and their families from the moment of diagnosis through the emotional process of coping with illness and loss. In our first session, we’ll explore what brought you to therapy, what’s currently happening in your life, and what changes you’re hoping for. Utilizing a psychodynamic framework, we will uncover unhelpful patterns and defense mechanisms, helping you develop healthier coping strategies while processing uncomfortable emotions. Shall we dive in?

I offer a nonjudgmental space for self-exploration using a trauma-informed and relational approach to therapy. I have worked with a diversity of individuals on topics such as anxiety and depression, identity questions (including sexuality and gender), relationship concerns, and managing ADHD symptoms.

You don’t have to figure it all out alone. Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re trying to make sense of who you are, where you’re going, and how to handle life’s challenges. I work with students who feel like their emotions are out of control, are struggling with identity, navigating family stress, searching for community, or carrying the impact of past experiences. I understand how culture, family, and community shape our stories. Sometimes in ways that bring strength, and other times through cycles we want to break. I believe therapy is a collaborative process. Together, we’ll build coping tools, create balance, and honor your culture, story, and strengths as you move toward a life that feels more meaningful and manageable.

Who I Work With: I work with adults, adolescents (aged 10 and up), families, couples, and non-traditional partnerships. Areas of Focus: My expertise lies in addressing various areas, including relationship concerns, codependency, attachment issues, exploration of family dynamics, support for adult children of alcoholics (ACA), identity development, assistance during life transitions, and career-related matters. Therapy Perspective: Therapy is a space where you can truly be seen and heard, fostering a sense of belonging and a deeper connection with yourself. It equips individuals with tools to redefine their experiences, reinterpret their systems and relationships, and embark on a journey toward a life that genuinely aligns with their authentic selves. Even in an individual setting, effective therapy is an act of community care. Tailored Approach: I believe that "good therapy" varies for each client. My approach tends to resonate more profoundly with individuals who view life through an existential lens, emphasizing the exploration and cultivation of personal meaning and purpose.

Therapy is a place where you can build safety and connection with your therapist. You deserve a space to feel heard and to share your stories without judgment, reclaim the power in those stories, and to allow yourself space to heal. As a therapist, I provide a compassionate, playful space for clients wanting to understand the impacts of their relationships, navigating stressors and life changes, and exploring trauma (including sexual abuse). My aim is to create a comfortable space where you can allow yourself to be vulnerable and unapologetically yourself. Therapy is a place where you can build safety and connection with your therapist.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and appreciate working with clients with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, relationships, teen-parent conflicts, religious trauma/abuse and gender and sexual identity struggles. I have experience helping individuals, families, and couples work through life transitions and challenges including aging, relationships, financial hardships, social anxieties, spiritual identity, and divorce. We can't do it all on our own. I offer a safe space to help you manage and cope with your daily struggles. I work primarily with teens and adults to offer Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as a primary approach. ACT is designed to help you manage and cope with negative thoughts and feelings in more effective ways allowing you to live a more value based and fulfilling life. As a specialty, I also offer a skilled and supportive approach to teens and parenting. The teen years are one of the most difficult times of life for families. No one has perfected it but there are many positive ways for parents and teens to manage the typical challenges during this phase of life.

Life can feel overwhelming—and you don’t have to face it alone. Whether you're struggling to balance school, work, and personal life, coping with stress, grieving a loss, or feeling stuck in your relationships, I’m here to support you.

From the outside, you are a high-achieving person, the one who everyone in the family relies on to be "fine." But on the inside, you feel like you are drowning in household chores, high expectations, and taking care of everyone else in your life. You just can't do it all. Many of my clients grew up with a dysfunctional, chaotic family and learned from a young age that the people in their lives couldn’t handle them having a bad day. In therapy, we won’t just talk about your stress and overwhelm; we will challenge the old patterns that cause it. I want you to connect with your feelings and take up more space! I offer a safe, welcoming space to explore your unmet needs, confidently set boundaries, say "no," communicate how you really feel, and live more authentically. My goal is to help you feel grounded, seen, and connected in your relationships and within yourself. You have spent your life making sure everyone else is taken care of; now it's your turn.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in working with young adults struggling with perfectionism and eating disorders. I empower clients to challenge long-held beliefs about worth and value and nurture their relationships to food, body image, and movement. For those struggling with perfectionism, together we challenge the belief that self worth is outcome dependent, learning to find intrinsic worth that leads to genuine self assurance.

I work with those who struggle with trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, and not taking care of oneself first. Trauma comes in many forms and may not always look like what you'd expect. I also work well with caregivers and other helpers who experience compassion fatigue, along with those who find themselves giving more than they receive in their relationships. No matter the circumstances that bring you into therapy, we will spend time on how to set boundaries, tune in to your needs, and heal your trauma. Sessions are tailored to your needs and focused on attainable goals. I use a combination of methods from CBT, Family Systems, Attachment Theory, and EMDR to create a plan tailored to your specific needs. I practice non-judgmentally and offer a safe space for everyone in the LGBTQIA+ community. I offer free phone consultations so we can decide together if I would be the right fit for you. Making that first contact is the hardest step, but please know that once you do, you are no longer alone. It is an honor to walk with you on your journey to wellness and I am grateful for your consideration in letting me join you. ** I do not accept insurance. My fee is $150 per session **

We’ll explore the thoughts, patterns, and past experiences that keep pulling you off course—and create practical ways to move forward. I draw from a variety of approaches like CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Attachment-Based Therapy, and more to tailor each session to your needs. Whether we’re working on addiction recovery, anxiety, or relationship challenges, we’ll focus on building self-awareness, emotional clarity, and meaningful connection. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, less reactive, and more at peace—both with yourself and in your relationships.

I love working with individuals that identify with high-masking neurodivergency, particularly in college-aged individuals. This time period offers us unique challenges, which can often be compounded by having a neurodivergent mind that is figuring out how to navigate in a neurotypical world. I believe in empowering ourselves and granting ourselves the skills needed to succeed in a environment that might be challenging otherwise. My main goal is to connect with you, and help you achieve your goals in whatever capacity it may present as. I specialize in working with neurodivergent clients, particularly high-masking autistic clients and ADHDers. I offer a combination of principles rooted in CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS, BSP, and trauma-informed care. As someone that is AuDHD and has experiences the struggles of trying to adhere to a neuronormative environment throughout higher education, I would love to connect with you and help you determine your path so you can live the life you want to live.
