Whether you cry a lot but are still productive, you're faking it till you make it, or you’re miserable and no one knows, you don’t have to keep doing it with a broken heart. It takes courage to reach out for support. Like other students, you may be struggling with adjusting to school, feeling anxious about performing well, worrying about family expectations, and choosing a satisfying career path. Figuring out how to juggle academic demands, friends, family, and self-care can be tough. With a non...

As a therapist, I strive to create a safe and warm space where therapeutic rapport can thrive.

Do you experience hypervigilance? panic? overwhelm? avoidance? unexplained physical symptoms? Many of my clients didn't realize that their symptoms of anxiety, depression, chronic pain, issues with vulnerability and in relationships stem from trauma. Trauma is not just something soldiers experience; trauma encompasses so many experiences. I use modalities like EMDR to get at the root of the symptoms, rather than putting a bandaid on them for a temporary fix. I also have experience with ADHD-info...

As a clinician, I am focused on helping clients find a life of meaning and value. Often times in our pain there is incredibly useful information about what's important to us. As humans, we have evolved to move away from physical pain, to escape it: and for most types of pain, those methods work! But for emotional pain, avoidance not only doesn’t get rid of our pain and suffering, it often amplifies it. In discovering how each individual client finds meaning in their lives, we ground ourselves in...
During our sessions, we would explore how your thoughts and past experiences trigger your mood-related symptoms. My therapy style is to meet clients where they are and provide a safe space to be their authentic selves through a culturally meaningful lens. I am passionate about supporting clients from all cultural backgrounds to overcome obstacles preventing them from being the best version of themselves. I believe a strategy for therapy should not be a cookie-cutter approach, therefore, together...
