I can’t change you, YOU have to change you and I am thrilled to be your cheerleader in that.

I work best with clients who are willing to roll up their sleeves and do the hard work to get results. I especially love working with immigrants and children of immigrants because they tend to be hard-working, driven and empathetic people who can make such gains in therapy when they learn evidence based strategies and see insights and connections between their past and present.

I approach therapy with warmth and empathy but also am action oriented. I will encourage you to practice new behaviors outside of our sessions, to make small shifts to achieve the life changes you desire. I have extensive training in working within women’s health, the perinatal period, with couples, immigrants and those who have experienced trauma. This training and continued education deeply informs my work, allowing me to offer evidence-based strategies from the research to challenge my clients to do things in a new way. You can expect me to be genuine and curious about your experiences, bring a sense of humor and warmth to our sessions but also speak directly and give honest observations (when helpful and appropriate!). Therapy is not just about making your life better, inevitably difficulties and unforeseen challenges will arise throughout all of our lives. It is about giving you the confidence and equipping you with the tools to ride the waves as they come, consciously reflecting and choosing your responses rather than living in a state of reactivity to circumstances.

I got into this work because above all else, I wholeheartedly believe that we are all capable of creating change in our lives. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of seeing so many of my clients do just that and change their relationships and lives through their own commitment, dedication and hard work every day in my practice. I believe that same thing is possible for you and look forward to walking alongside you in your wellness journey.
