Therapy for Trauma, Grief, and Anxiety

Have you experienced something that was deeply overwhelming and distressing? In contrast to everyday stress, these experiences can often overwhelm one’s ability to cope, leaving you feeling unsafe or powerless.

After experiencing a trauma, you might find yourself struggling with uncomfortable memories, nightmares, intrusive thoughts, and difficulty sleeping. You might notice that it’s harder to control your mood or struggle with uncomfortable physical reactions (e.g. racing heart, difficulty breathing, trembling). Many people who have experienced trauma have a hard time doing things that they used to enjoy or being around people who they love.

It is important to recognize that healing from a traumatic experience is possible. With the right support from a trained trauma therapist you can regain your sense of safety, trust, and power in this world.

I am so sorry for the loss you’ve experienced. Losing someone you love can feel deeply painful and disrupt your sense of life as you knew it. It can be hard to imagine how to move forward, and feelings of guilt or uncertainty about “healing” are common.

As a grief therapist, I help adults rebuild their lives while honoring their loved one and the lasting connection they share. In therapy, you’ll learn skills to manage difficult memories, intrusive thoughts, painful emotions, and physical sensations. You’ll also learn how to respond to challenging questions or navigate difficult days, like anniversaries, holidays, or funerals.

Therapy is tailored to your specific loss, your culture, and your spiritual beliefs, so you can move forward in a way that feels meaningful and authentic to you.

Anxiety can feel overwhelming and exhausting. Anxiety is a natural response to stress, and it’s normal to feel nervous in situations that matter to us, like work presentations, important conversations, or big life changes. But sometimes anxiety becomes persistent or intense, and it starts to get in the way of daily life.

You might notice your mind racing, worries that won’t stop, irritability, or fears that feel hard to control. For some, anxiety shows up in the body with tight muscles, a racing heart, shallow or fast breathing, or trouble sleeping.

I help adults understand their anxiety and develop practical skills to manage it. Together, we’ll work to reduce its impact so it doesn’t hold you back from your goals, relationships, or the things that matter most to you.

Do you have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up feeling rested? When sleep is hard to come by, it can leave you feeling exhausted, irritable, or foggy during the day. Over time, ongoing sleep difficulties can take a toll on your energy, mood, and overall well-being.

I work with adults experiencing insomnia using evidence-based approaches to help improve sleep. Together, we’ll develop practical strategies so you can rest more fully, feel more alert during the day, and regain your sense of balance.

Feeling burned out or overwhelmed? Burnout can make you feel emotionally, mentally, or physically drained from work, school, or daily responsibilities. You might notice that your motivation is low, your satisfaction feels limited, or it’s hard to stay fully present in your relationships and personal life. Some days, life can feel out of balance, and you may question whether your work aligns with your goals or values.

I help people understand what’s driving their burnout and develop strategies to restore balance. Together, we can explore your values, overcome perfectionism or imposter syndrome, and take steps to feel more energized, grounded, and connected to what matters most in your life.

Change is a natural part of life, but it’s not always easy. Big transitions like breakups, moving to a new city, starting a new job, going to college, or other major life shifts can bring stress, uncertainty, and emotional pain.

In therapy, we’ll work together to help you adapt to change, find meaning in your experiences, and strengthen your ability to move forward with confidence and clarity.

Migration can be a deeply emotional experience. Whether you moved by choice or out of necessity, leaving your home, community, culture, or loved ones can bring grief, uncertainty, and a sense of disconnection. You may feel caught between worlds, struggling with identity, belonging, or the pressure to “be okay” while carrying so much internally.

I help adults navigate the emotional impact of migration, including loss, trauma, cultural adjustment, and family separation. In therapy, you’ll learn tools to manage difficult emotions, stress, and memories while building a sense of safety, grounding, and connection in your new life.

Therapy is tailored to your unique migration story, cultural background, and values, so you can move forward in a way that honors both where you come from and where you are now.
