Hello and welcome! I appreciate your effort and trust in seeking therapy. Are you looking to connect with someone who will listen, provide a space that feels safe to be truly yourself and provide professional insight/guidance? I am interested in getting to know you and, what brings you here. We are resilient but, at times life can be a lot. If you are trying to navigate life adjustments, relationships, manage mood, feelings of Anxiety and overwhelm, please feel free to send me a quick note and we can connect.
What can you expect in our therapy sessions? It varies! Typically, we will focus on what you are going through at the time, then moving on to explore your core concerns, identify what/ how you would like things to be different. We will explore tools/strategies/ ideas to help manage the present, as well as setting a strong foundation for long term change.
Can we be a good fit? I am a therapist but also a partner, a parent, a daughter, and a person coming from a different cultural back ground, which helps me relate to you on a very human level. I am passionate about getting to know you, in creating a space that lets you be who you are and a place you can feel truly comfortable in.
