In joining clients as they navigate their journey of personal change and healing, I strive to help foster self-trust and strengthen inner knowing through building deeper self-awareness, uncover and release patterns that are no longer serving, cultivate compassion for the self in addition to others, facilitate transformation, and reconnect with the sweetness of life. I provide individual psychotherapy sessions to adults using an integrative approach. Integrative therapy draws from various therapy models, techniques, and methods. Having an eclectic and collaborative style allows for tailoring the therapy according to the needs and preferences of each individual as well as provide an array of tools to work with. I blend a humanistic stance with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, emotion focused and somatic therapy models, mindfulness based practices, psychodynamic therapy, and the expressive arts therapies. This means that I am here to support one's own unique process of change and hold each story with respect and care. My specialty areas include anxiety, depression, trauma, empathic overload and high sensitivity, women's mental health, working with creatives, intergenerational cycles, issues impacting first and second generation Americans, and bicultural stress and identity. Embracing diversity is a value that is close to my heart. I am an LGBTQIA+ ally. It is of deep importance to me to endeavor to create a safe, warm, and accepting space for all. Sessions are offered via telehealth to those who reside in either California or New York. Teletherapy has been shown to be just as effective as in-person therapy. Telehealth offers the convenience of being in the comfort of one's own space and avoiding long commutes to an office. As a provider who is licensed in both California and New York, individuals who are living the bicoastal life between Los Angeles or the Bay Area and New York City are able to have appointments in both locations. If you are interested in learning more, please feel free to reach out and schedule a complimentary 30 minute consultation. I look forward to connecting with you.
