You feel like you’ve been running a race your entire life, but you haven’t even crossed the starting line.

  • You got the education, you landed the perfect career. You have the partner and kids and still come around for Sunday dinner.

  • At home, at work, from family and friends. You’re stretched thin and it's getting harder to ignore. You’re constantly in fight-or-flight mode, and aren’t sure why. You don’t even know who you are outside of this life that you have built.

  • You blow up at work and now there's a performance improvement plan. Your partner wants you to fix your attitude problem. Your family tells you to go to the doctor because you must be crazy. And you start to wonder, ‘maybe I am crazy.’  You just want it to stop. You just want to stop running and take a breath.

Not you ignoring the patterns that keep showing up in your life.

Hi, I’m Veltimar!

I'm not a buttoned-up therapist who will stare past you and ask, ‘how does that make you feel?’ I show up as myself and I never take your openness for granted. So don't be surprised when I ask about your dog by name or laugh with you when you show me the latest IG reel—the details matter to me. Bring everything that's weighing on you, the drama that's happening in the group chat —and we'll sort it out together. I am not here to fix you because you're not broken, and you know yourself best.

I use evidence-based approaches that are grounded in compassion to help you get to know yourself better and heal from the inside out. I do not approach you as if you are in a vacuum- your lived experience matters here. As women, we often have to worry about whether people will hear us and believe us. But you don't have to worry about that here.

In therapy, we create space to stop, take a breath and make sense of the roles, pressures, and experiences that have shaped how you relate to yourself and others. Through our work together, you’ll release what is not serving you and finally be able to breathe again.

How I can help

I specialize in therapy for lasting change.

  •  Anxiety and burnout can throw a wrench into the busy lives of many women. Whether it is feeling pressured to continue checking boxes of ‘what an adult is supposed to do’,  feeling burnt out from a toxic workplace, I can help you quiet the noise with calming techniques, set boundaries where they matter most, and heal the parts of you that feel weary and anxious.

  • Does it feel like no one can understand why a single phone call from your mother means an immediate halt to whatever you were doing? Do you often experience guilt when you see news coverage of what is going on in a country to which you feel connected, having never lived there? In therapy, we will navigate these and all complex issues faced by 1st and 2nd gen adult children of immigrants. Learn more.

  • The eldest daughter is often described as the ‘responsible one’, the ‘fixer’ or the ‘bonus parent’. She takes care of everyone- at home, in her friend group, and at work. She may fit this mold, even as a second or third born daughter. All eldest daughter types are welcome here- together we will break free from the role expectations. You can stop carrying everyone else’s needs without feeling like you’re letting them down. Learn more.

  • Picture this: you’re in your boss’s office, being lectured about something and then bam! – you’re back in your 4th grade classroom, head hung low as your teacher hands your test paper back. Did you travel back in time? Probably not. But some memories get stuck, held together by negative beliefs and the residual emotions remain. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to help you process painful memories so that you can move forward in life without reliving the past. Learn more.

  • Have you ever felt like there are parts of you that feel pulled in different directions? Like the part of you that wants to just pick up and go wherever you want. But another part feels guilty for even thinking about it. Internal family systems therapy helps you unpack the internal conflict of wanting space while still caring deeply about your family, friends, and work.
