Life can feel overwhelming—whether you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, anger, stress, burnout, trauma, PTSD, relationship conflict, cultural identity challenges, or major life transitions. You don’t have to navigate this alone. I offer a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. My goal is to help you explore your experiences at your own pace while fostering healing, self-awareness, and empowerment.
Therapy is collaborative and tailored to your needs. Together, we’ll explore what may be holding you back, build insight, and develop tools for resilience. I draw from anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, humanistic, and strength-based approaches to support growth, healing, and more authentic connection in your life and relationships.
I value exploring how culture, systems, and lived experiences shape identity and beliefs. I also bring a culturally informed and socially conscious lens to my work. My goal is to support you in unlearning limiting narratives and reconnecting with your values, strengths, and authentic sense of self in a meaningful way.

I bring a culturally informed and socially conscious perspective to therapy. My layered cultural background and lived experiences have given me a deep respect for the complexity of identity and the ways culture, community, and broader systems shape how we understand ourselves and relate to others.
