For much of our lives, we are taught to listen outward to parents, teachers, and
external expectations often losing touch with our inner voice. Therapy is a space to
slow down, reconnect with that inner awareness, and develop a deeper understanding
of oneself.

I take an integrative, trauma-informed approach, drawing primarily from psychodynamic
and existential therapies. This work focuses on understanding how past experiences,
relationships, and core beliefs shape present-day emotions and behaviors. I work
primarily with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, identity development, and life
transitions, tailoring therapy to each client’s goals.

Currently, I am completing my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at
Manhattan University, and previously earned both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in
Engineering, where I worked professionally before transitioning into counseling. My
clinical work is informed by both my academic education and my earlier career as an
engineer, which allows me to bring thoughtfulness, structure, and reflection into the
therapeutic process while remaining responsive to the complexity of each individual’s
experience.

As a Dutch proverb reminds us, “shared pain is half the pain,” and much of healing
begins when experiences are witnessed within a relationship.
