I enjoy helping people create more meaningful relationships, gain deeper insight into their behaviors, and shift patterns they’re ready to change. I often work with adults wanting to process childhood trauma, and folks struggling to feel authentic and connected in their close relationships. I’m also dedicated to helping parents throughout the earliest stages of parenthood, from pre-conception to toddlerhood. I use my expertise in child development to help new parents build strong attachment to their little ones and feel more empowered in their parenting. As a bicultural therapist, I’m passionate about working with immigrants or people who feel they straddle more than one culture. I’m often described as down-to-earth, gently direct, and candid with a healthy dose of warmth. I love bringing humor and realness into the therapy room, and will balance those with encouraging challenges to help you achieve your goals.
I see my work with you as a pas-de-deux (a dance for two). I bring my curiosity, compassion, and open-mindedness so you can come in with your unfiltered self, and together, we improvise new steps, helping you find your footing in the moments that matter the most. I will help you slow down, make connections, invite the parts of you that don’t get as much attention, and work with you to figure out what needs changing. My approach is based on relational and attachment-based theory, meaning that I use our relationship and knowledge of your earliest experiences with caregivers to understand who you are and how you operate in the world.
I believe therapy can be a tool for self-discovery and making room to breathe, for learning to re-parent ourselves, and for listening to and acknowledging the parts of us that cause us shame. As your therapist, I strive to hold a steady rhythm you can rely on to bring all parts of yourself - so together we can foster more understanding and acceptance (and maybe even love!) for who you are.
