I’m a firm believer that you don’t need to wait until things get really bad to start therapy. If you're a college/graduate student, young adult, or professional dealing with anxiety, depression, identity development, life transitions, relationship issues, academic and career issues, or burnout, you're not alone! I take a warm, collaborative, and tailored approach that’s flexible to meet your needs and goals. The foundation of my work is a multicultural-feminist perspective that positions you as the expert of your own experience.
Together, we can help you move upstream to identify and resolve systemic and personal patterns that keep you feeling stuck. Through an anti-oppression, identity-affirming approach, we'll explore how societal, environmental, and individual systems contribute to your distress so that you can find more self-compassion and joy in life.
It’s never too early or too late to get to the life you want. I look forward to getting to know you!
