About this provider
Clients I Work With
I’m a therapist who helps high-achieving, anxious, people-pleasing women and new moms stop overthinking and learn how to put their needs first. I have helped so many mothers and women with ADHD heal from anxiety, people-pleasing and perfectionism to find confidence and self-love. I’m a certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C) and also specialize in treating postpartum anxiety, depression and mental health challenges related to pregnancy, infertility and miscarriage. I also work with clients from multicultural and multiracial backgrounds around issues related to identity and multi-cultural relationships.
Approach
I communicate in a way that is both direct and supportive; patient yet curious. I will gently challenge patterns that are keeping you stuck - like people-pleasing, perfectionism, or the belief that you have to do everything on your own - while also creating a space where you feel seen, safe and not judged. My clients often tell me that I know how to ask the right questions to get to the root of what’s going on. But I also believe that you are the expert - I’ll go at your pace, on your terms.
Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to rush to find the answer; where you can slow down enough to start noticing what’s going on in your body and mind, buried beneath the surface. I welcome you to show your full self here - even when it’s overwhelmed, messy and unsure. We’ll start with what’s present in there here and now, and let that guide our work together.
Beliefs & Lived Experience
I am one of you - I have also suffered with anxiety and self-criticism in my own life, often struggling to connect to what I wanted in the midst of all the louder noises around me. The healing that my own therapy journey has brought me has made me passionate about helping other thoughtful, sensitive and driven women to find the same. As a mom of two young children, I’m driven to help other moms make space for themselves in their own lives. I understand the ways in which motherhood can wreak havoc on your self-esteem and identity, especially if you’re someone who is used to giving everything in your life 110%. I’m also the eldest daughter of an immigrant, and my experiences growing up second generation American and in a multiracial household have made me passionate about helping others explore how different identities can intersect to shape our experience of the world.
