Welcome, I'm glad you are here! I am currently accepting new clients. I work with adults and couples using a relational approach that emphasizes connection: being seen, heard, and valued for who you are AND where you are in your journey. My goal is to create a nurturing, non-judgmental space where you feel safe to share your needs and explore the factors and patterns that may be impacting your quality of life. As an immigrant, I am particularly sensitive to the many ways different people show vulnerability, and strive to consider how multicultural, interpersonal, and contextual factors inform our complex identities and experiences.
I have a direct and transparent approach, and work collaboratively to identify goals and tailor treatment to your specific needs. I practice research supported therapies and often draw from humanistic, cognitive behavioral and mindfulness based techniques. I have received specialized training in EFT for couples, CBT, DBT & Motivational Interviewing.
I believe everyone is capable & worthy of healthy relationships with themselves and others. I feel grateful for the opportunity to help clients increase awareness of, and comfort with emotions, improve relationships, and achieve a more joyful, connected and fulfilling life. Contact me for a free consultation to find out if we are a good fit for one another.
