Do you feel misunderstood? Do you find it difficult to explain yourself or talk about your feelings? It can be challenging trying to navigate life’s hard times by yourself. I would like to offer you a safe space where you can explore your voice, narrative, and identity.
Through my experience of starting out at entertainment industry to becoming an active-duty officer at US military, I learned to appreciate people of all walks of life. No matter what background or experiences you come from, I believe everybody has a story that is worth sharing.
It can be intimidating to open yourself to someone, however, I have much respect for you, who take the risk to be in therapy. My modalities include Art Therapy, Mindfulness-Based, Play Therapy, Compassion Focused, and Person-Centered to assist you to unleash your inner creativity. Let’s journey together to achieve the thriving life you deserve.
