I specialize in working with first generation individuals to help one better understand their sense of self in relation to their culture. We explore the family dynamic, cultural values and expectations throughout the life cycle. I understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with navigating the feelings of both "belonging" and "not belonging" to a culture, and its impact on one’s sense of self. Using a relational and narrative approach, I help clients understand and heal from the effects of generational trauma and family enmeshment, while also helping them forge a relationship with their own unique story.

In life, facing times of distress and confusion may be inevitable. During tough times, guidance from a professional may prove invaluable. Many of my clients come in with a specific concern in mind while others simply want to feel better. I enjoy working collaboratively to create a warm, safe, and inviting space for personal growth. I help people with varying mental health concerns including: depression, anxiety, family and personal relationships, eating disorders, identity issues, trauma and complex PTSD.

You try so hard to always do the right thing. Take people’s advice, follow orders, and not rock the boat. But no matter how hard you try, you still feel like you’re failing. Everyone seems to have it all figured out except you. And you’re somehow separated from them by an indefinable quality. You simply don’t fit in with the crowd, and you suspect your racial and cultural background has something to do with it. People treat you differently, and you just go along because you don’t want to make waves. But every day you feel more inauthentic, inadequate, and isolated. You wish there were some other way to live, but you don’t know how.

Until the pandemic, my practice encompassed adult psychotherapy and pediatric neuropsychology. At present, I have suspended neuropsychological evaluations as I am only providing remote services and have chosen not to do testing this way. I provide individual and couples therapy using an approach that may draw from different schools of therapy, depending on individual needs. I have very broad experience with a variety of ages and personal struggles. Although I am unable to provide pediatric neuropsychology evaluations, I am available for parent consultation.

My group practice specializes in the treatment of trauma spectrum disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder, dissociative disorders, trauma-related pain, and trauma-related somatic symptoms. Ongoing experiences of verbal, physical, or sexual abuse, neglect, and bullying can lead to these symptoms. Sometimes people suffer these effects because they have experienced chronic invalidation. We treat couples, people in non-traditional partnerships, and adolescents who struggle with emotional and behavioral problems. We also treat survivors of sexual violence and targets of workplace bullying.

I work with clients of all ages whose therapy goals may include improving general mental health, forming healthy attachments and relationships, or minimizing the effects of anxiety and trauma. When it comes to therapy, one size fits one. Some people benefit from a sustained dive into their past, their relationships, or their place in society. Others are more interested in finding solutions to personal problems in the present. For many clients, using music in the therapeutic process allows them to fast-track and optimize the emotional work they need to do before they can make meaningful changes in their lives.

The impact that a life-changing diagnosis can have on individuals and their families can be profound. It can feel like a betrayal when our bodies don’t allow us to live our lives the way we expect, impacting our relationships, careers, and hopes. How can we move forward in life when it feels like our bodies are holding us back? How do we grieve our hopes and dreams while trying to fully understand how they are affected by our new circumstances? How do we do all of this while trying to navigate a medical system that often leaves us feeling unheard and unseen?

Do you find yourself feeling confused, lost, or misunderstood in a world where the only constant is change? Are you having trouble opening up to the people around you out of fear of judgment? Asking for help can be difficult, but therapy can serve as the first step toward taking back your autonomy. Sometimes, to get what we need, we rely on the skills that have, out of habit, come to be like second nature. Our ability to get what we need does not always equate to using healthy mechanisms to do so. Together we can identify different aspects of your identity in order to replace any negative coping strategies.

Women's Issues Therapists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
