Anxiety or depression may be pulling you away from the life you want to enjoy. Past wounds can quietly shape how you relate—to yourself and to others—showing up as shame, anger, or fear. You might long for closeness in your relationships, yet find yourself repeatedly getting hurt. At times, you may struggle to feel grounded in who you are or to feel a true sense of belonging. Change is possible, and you don’t have to navigate it alone. In my work, I approach therapy with deep respect for each person’s dignity and lived experience, regardless of background.

My work focuses on trauma, anxiety, and relationship concerns, with particular attention to spiritual or religious harm when it is present.

We’ll start by identifying what you want to change and what matters most to you. Then, we’ll uncover the deeper patterns—often outside of awareness—that keep you stuck. From there, we’ll build practical, evidence-based strategies that help you create lasting change in how you think, feel, and relate. The goal would be to build psychological flexibility. My work is shaped not only by professional training, but by lived experience. Chaya Care is named after my mother, Chaya, whose life has been deeply impacted by mental illness (schizophrenia) since my childhood. Growing up alongside this reality shaped my perspective on mental health and informed a lasting commitment to compassionate care.

You shouldn’t have to spend time and money on therapy without experiencing meaningful change. My clients often say, “This is the first time I’m noticing this in 20 years.” That kind of insight can open the door to real transformation.
