I work with adults who experience symptoms of anxiety or depression, trouble with life transitions, individuals struggling with relationships and those who just want to learn more about themselves while moving toward a more pleasurable and purposeful life. Many of my clients seek to enhance their sense of self by unpacking their experience of trauma in the context of varying identities, family structures, and/or immigration experiences. I also work with children and their families who have experienced stress, life disruptions and trauma.
