I help you make sense of painful past experiences so they no longer leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down. Together, we explore the emotions, beliefs, and patterns that have shaped how you see yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. By developing a deeper understanding of yourself, we work toward greater confidence, emotional resilience, and healthier ways of coping. Therapy can create space for healing, self-compassion, meaningful connection, and lasting change. You don’t have to reinvent your life—you can take meaningful steps toward becoming more grounded, as slowly as you need

Therapy, at its best, is a space for healing, discovery, and meaning-making. As a humanistic and existentially oriented therapist, I believe every individual holds an innate drive toward growth—even amidst pain. I’m here to walk alongside you, not to “fix” you, but to witness, support, and gently guide you back to your own inner truth.
I work with children, youth, and adults, many of whom are navigating the challenges of cultural identity, emotional overwhelm, intergenerational trauma, or difficult life transitions.
