Relationships of all types can be hard to maintain, build, nurture, limit, and even break. Handling your emotions on top of all of that adds to your challenges. Therapy can be a life changing outlet for you to organize your thoughts and feelings to figure out what your next steps can be! Whether you are new to therapy, or familiar with the process, I'm happy to provide a new perspective with the aims of helping you with your issues. My therapy blends insight, humor, metaphor, and evidence-based tools like CBT, Mindfulness, EMDR, and more to help you slow down, get unstuck, and reconnect with your inner voice. Registered APCC 17055
I live with the use of metaphors for almost everything. It's my way of relating to people and providing alternative perspectives that may better fit what you are feeling AND where you may want to go! Sometimes, people just need to hear the right metaphor or comparison to feel seen and heard. Together, we find out what works best for you and your needs.
Anyone can receive therapy and ANY point in life. Your story is unique and therefore, your therapy is unique! I'm ready to listen and help empower you to make meaningful changes in your life so you can feel like your authentic self!

I work with clients who may be struggling with their cultural identity and how to balance those values in your social circles close to you. The start of our sessions involve actively listening to your life timeline and finding patterns that you may have never noticed. From there, we can start to make meaningful changes.
