With over a decade of experience across mental health, trauma recovery, child welfare, and education—both locally and internationally—I offer a safe, supportive space to explore emotions and lived experiences. I provide individual therapy for adolescents and adults, as well as parent coaching, grounded in the belief that healing happens through genuine connection. My work is shaped not only by professional training, but by lived experience. Having navigated family conflict, trauma, and uncertainty myself, I bring a deep sense of empathy and understanding, along with a commitment to reflection, unlearning, and growth.
For adolescents and teenagers: If therapy sounds like talking to another adult who “just doesn’t get it,” I hear you. I’m here to be real with you—not talk down to you. Show up as you are, say what’s on your mind, and know it won’t be dismissed. I understand how heavy things can feel, and you don’t have to go through it alone.
For adults looking for the right fit: While I may come across as young, I bring a depth of lived experience that shapes my work. Having lived in different parts of the world, I’ve developed a broader perspective and a strong sense of empathy and connection for people from all backgrounds. I strive to meet you where you are—with curiosity and respect.
