As a licensed psychologist with a PhD in Counseling Psychology, I bring extensive experience supporting high-achieving individuals in settings such as university counseling centers and private practice. I work with clients across diverse cultural backgrounds, identities, and life experiences, many of whom are navigating complex environments, multiple roles, and the internal pressures that often accompany high levels of responsibility.

Recognizing the prevalence of trauma among high-achieving women, I am certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), an evidence-based treatment that helps process difficult experiences through mindfulness-based regulation, visualization, and targeted exposure. In addition to individual therapy, I have facilitated therapy groups centered on concerns such as anxiety and perfectionism, relationship and sexual health, women of color, and LGBTQIA+ communities.

Before becoming a psychologist, I earned my master’s degree from the London School of Economics in international development and humanitarian emergencies and worked in global and organizational environments, including the United Nations, Deloitte, and nonprofit organizations. These experiences continue to shape how I understand ambition, leadership, performance-driven cultures, and the emotional realities that often accompany them. Having managed teams, led research initiatives, and developed organizational systems, I bring both empathy and real-world perspective to the therapeutic process, particularly when working with women who are accustomed to operating at a high level.

I also bring personal experience navigating multiple cultural worlds. As a cisgender, multiracial woman who grew up as an expatriate and third-culture kid, I was immersed from an early age in diverse communities and surrounded by globally minded individuals. These experiences deepened my sensitivity to identity, belonging, adaptation, and the often unspoken complexity of living between cultures or expectations. My work is guided by ongoing cultural humility and responsiveness, grounded in the understanding that the contexts shaping a woman’s life are layered and continually evolving.

Outside of work, I spend my time with people I love, often talking for hours, attending cultural and community events, or traveling around the world. I also value alone time to recharge, whether through documentaries, nostalgic TV shows, or getting lost in a good book.
