Welcome! Are you struggling with a life transition, acculturation, or other stressors? Are you having difficulty adjusting to a new role or coping with anxiety? Life transitions such as graduations, new jobs, and relationship stress can take a toll on us. Perhaps you're unsure of what you're feeling and are looking for a safe place to explore those emotions? Therapy can help you understand what you are feeling and why. You can learn skills to tolerate distress, cope with difficult emotions and overcome your challenges. Being proactive and reaching out for support takes strength and courage, so I applaud you!
One size does not fit all! My approach to therapy is collaborative. I believe that building a strong relationship is foundational to our work. I welcome the opportunity to get to know you; together we can identify an approach that is right for you. I integrate a variety of strategies in order to create a personalized experience that will work for you.
I have 20 years of experience working with adolescents and adults from diverse backgrounds who are experiencing anxiety, depression, and other difficulties. I aim to help clients feel empowered by using a strengths-based perspective. I specialize in working with college students, young adults and adults, immigrants, and first generation Americans.
