(she/her)
Welcome! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience in mental health. I specialize in helping individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship/ family conflicts, parenting issues/postpartum, life transitions, immigration, eating concerns/body image, and low self-esteem. Therapy is a safe space to explore, process, and understand your emotions, and I do so with a feminist, social justice, and humanistic lens. I utilize evidence-based practices, such as mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy. We may just as much explore your childhood and family of origin as we may identify concrete solutions to real-time problems. I love bringing in humor as appropriate. Therapy is challenging, and it takes a lot of courage to recognize "I need help." I hope to enter every session with an open mind and a nonjudgmental stance as we walk together through some of the most difficult moments in your life.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, my hope is to get a better understanding of who you are and the struggles that you are facing. We will explore if you have specific goals in therapy and discuss a treatment plan.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My strengths as a therapist include holding deep empathy and understanding of your experiences, challenging destructive thoughts and behaviors, exploring practical solutions, and trusting in each person's innate self-knowledge and intelligence.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Therapy can help if you are someone who finds themselves feeling anxious quite often or waking up with feelings of dread. Or maybe you notice that a lot of your relationships are full of conflict, you’re struggling in a family dynamic, or you find yourself with negative self-esteem and/or poor body image. However you show up, I am honored to support you on your path of healing and finding inner peace.
