You may notice patterns in relationships, emotions, or coping that feel difficult to understand or change. Often these patterns are shaped by past experiences, including trauma or attachment wounds. At times this may show up as anxiety, emotional overwhelm, feeling emotionally unsafe in relationships, or disconnection from yourself or those around you. You may also be navigating identity questions, cultural experiences, grief or life transitions. Therapy can offer a supportive and affirming space to understand these patterns, reduce anxiety, and build healthier relationships.

I am also a clinical associate professor at Brown University, where I teach and supervise clinicians in training. I work with individuals, couples, and veterans navigating relationship patterns, life transitions, and the impact of trauma.

I am a bilingual psychologist, specialized in trauma, anxiety, and relational work. In my approach I integrate evidence-based therapies with parts and inner child work to help clients understand patterns shaped by past experiences, develop a greater sense of self, and move toward healing in a supportive, affirming space that honors diverse identities and life experiences.

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if past experiences have made trust difficult. My goal is to create a collaborative and compassionate space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. I welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds and identities.

I also believe in the power of connection, meeting someone where they are, and moving forward on a journey of healing and growth. I work to empower people to allow their strength and resilience to prevail in times of challenge.

We will work together to co-create the goals you want to accomplish individually and/or as a couple.
