In order to shift anything, one must reach, with a gentle touch, the parts of ourselves that are able to transform. It’s only human to want to heal in order to function at our optimal capacity, whatever that might be for us. I passionately hold that we could all use a way to slow down our rapidly evolving lives—a way to hold space for what drives us forward, or slows us down in ways we’d like to speed up. Therapy is a space to peel back layers to help you move toward being fully expressed, in steady, easy participation with your life—even with its inevitable ups and downs and the in-between spaces.
Healing is personal to each individual. It requires both the space to go within, and a relational home. In sessions, we create a safe, emotional space, welcoming all your human parts, in order to discover and work toward your goals. My hope is for you to leave sessions feeling resourced, deeper clarity, and increased peacefulness and well-being.
Born in NYC to immigrant parents, I’m aware of the stigma associated with mental health and its complexities. Outside of therapy, I love swimming and dancing with, and training my Shiba Inu, Kuma. As a trauma-informed Breathwork Facilitator, I love working with holistic, integrative modalities that deepen our mind-body connection.

I work with clients who maybe struggling with anxiety, trauma, and relational stress or ruptures. During sessions, we explore somatically and experientially what is on the other side of are spaces of stagnancy. I really believe everything we desire is on the other side of our ability to bear sensation in our somas.
