Build new ways to relate to yourself and others...

If you’re here, something in your life may no longer feel like it’s working the way you want. You may find yourself repeating painful patterns, feeling stuck because of past experiences, or struggling through a difficult season of life. Often, the ways we learned to cope helped us survive at one point, but might no longer serve the person you are today.

My approach to therapy blends advanced training in psychodynamic therapies with mindfulness-based approaches, grounded in decades of experience practicing and teaching meditation and yoga. These are practices that bring depth to our lives and connect us to our own capacity for insight.

I’m particularly passionate about working with adults making sense of difficult childhoods, and the ways early experiences continue to shape their emotions and relationships. As an immigrant, I understand the complexity of navigating identity, belonging, and life transitions. As a mother, I deeply understand the challenges of parenting and building healthier family relationships.

I aim to create a space where you feel genuinely supported and understood, while also gently challenging you when needed. Together, we will explore not only what is keeping you stuck, but also your strengths, hopes, and what makes life feel meaningful.
