Sometimes life changes you so much that the person you used to be no longer feels right. Grief can do this. So can a role that no longer fits, or a change you didn't choose. You might still look capable on the outside, while quietly asking yourself, who am I now? I came to this work after my own time of coming apart, so I understand what it costs to find your way back to yourself. Therapy with me is not about turning pain into a tidy lesson. It's a place to set down what you have been carrying and listen for your own voice again.
As a Pre-Licensed Professional and MA in Counselling Psychology student under clinical supervision, I support adults navigating grief, transition, and identity shifts. My work is existential-humanistic at its core, which just means I trust you to find your own way, and I am not afraid of the big questions that come with pain.
I won’t just sit across from you in silence or push you to have a breakthrough. I bring warmth, honesty, curiosity, and space for your whole story, including the parts shaped by family, culture, faith, and survival. We will move at your pace, but we will not stay stuck. If this feels right to you, reach out for a free consultation.

You know how to keep going. You show up, hold it together, care for everyone else, and underneath all that capability something has shifted. Grief. A body that is no longer the one you knew. A transition you did not choose. If you have started asking who am I now, we can start there.

My work is humanistic and existential at its core. In a first session we'll talk about what brought you here, and you do not have to arrive with it organized. From there we look at the stories you inherited, the roles you learned to occupy, and what you want now. I work with narrative, mindfulness, acceptance and parts-based approaches. We go at your pace, and nothing happens without your say.
