Are you worried about your child’s anxiety, big emotions, or difficulty coping with life changes? Are you feeling overwhelmed yourself and looking for a calm space to process what you’re carrying? Do you find yourself struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or the emotional challenges of immigration that impact your daily life, relationships, or work? Therapy can be a place to slow down, feel understood, and gently begin healing.
I help children through child-centered play therapy, where play, art, and storytelling allow them to safely express feelings, process experiences, and build emotional regulation at their own pace. I also support adults with anxiety, trauma, abuse recovery, depression, grief, chronic illness and health anxiety, cultural identity, neurodivergence, and phobias.
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable and overwhelming, especially when you’ve been carrying so much on your own. You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out. If you’re considering support for yourself or your child, we can take it one step at a time.
