Are you struggling with overwhelming emotions? Have you experienced loss, trauma, or other challenges? I am here for you, to help you overcome the emotional pain of past experiences. As a teen, I myself personally experienced the devastating losses of multiple loved ones. Through my own heartbreak, emotional pain, and grief, I was even more inspired to comfort and sit with others during their most challenging times. Funny thing is: I knew I wanted to become a psychotherapist before I even know what a therapist was! I feel so lucky today to counsel clients with such diverse and different stories, backgrounds, and experiences.

I became a therapist to be able to provide a safe space for individuals to process life’s twists and turns in addition to helping clients find their inner truths. Clients like you find me to be warm, authentic and supportive.

There are many reasons to seek therapy. Some are based on circumstances, others on one's history; maybe a cumulative sense of wanting to change, or family or work issues that are bearing down on one's daily living. The journey of self-knowledge is an investment in caring for oneself and one's future. There are patterns in one's thinking and challenging behaviors that can change through insight, understanding, and awareness. I spent several decades working in the film business before becoming a therapist and bring an understanding to creative people who are struggling with their work or in high- stress work conditions.

Are you tired of worrying about the what ifs? What if you don't do or eat the "right" thing? What if the thing you fear most comes true?

You're left feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, irritable, lonely, or paralyzed with dread.

When you were young, you imagined things would all come together when you became an adult. Others may see you as successful, composed, or upbeat, but they don’t see the whole picture. They know nothing about your anxious thoughts, about your past and the way it still affects you, or your insecurities. Some days it can be hard to look in the mirror after comparing yourself to those on social media, siblings and friends, or to your own high standards. Words like "stay positive" and "be grateful" can leave you feeling unheard or misunderstood. It feels impossible to be excited or motivated for life when you feel this way.
