I’ve been in private practice since 2004, working with adults individually, in couples, and in groups. My style is warm, empathic, and collaborative. I strive to create a non-judgmental space where you can be yourself and share freely. You’ll find me listening intently, asking questions, but also allowing for moments of quiet reflection. My approach is informed by my training in psychoanalysis as well as cognitive behavioral therapies, and I believe that a good therapeutic fit, where you feel truly seen and heard, can be transformative.

I support individuals, families, and groups navigating a wide range of human experiences, including depression, anxiety, life transitions, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, women's issues, work-related stress, trauma, chronic illness, cancer diagnoses, survivorship, loss, and grief. In addition, I have a deep understanding of cultural and racial identity, immigration experiences, and the ongoing process of acculturation and integration honoring one’s own roots and values. I provide psychotherapy, supervision and consulting services. I am a bicultural and multilingual therapist welcoming individuals from all backgrounds and walks of life.
