I deeply value the healing power of human connection and strive to create a safe, genuine, and compassionate space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. Together, we’ll explore the best strategies to meet your unique needs, collaborating every step of the way. My approach is flexible, drawing on different therapeutic modalities while remaining grounded in a person-centered and mindfulness-based perspective. As an LGBTQ+ therapist who left my home country to build a new future, I bring a personal understanding of the complexities of multiculturalism, intersectional identities, and how they shape mental health.
I completed my M.A. and an Ed.M. in Counseling Psychology from Columbia University. I have experience working with a variety of issues including ADHD, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+ issues, grief/bereavement, stress management, life transitions, substance misuse, psychedelic harm reduction and integration.
If you’re ready to take the next step, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation so we can see if we’re a good fit! You don’t have to face your struggles alone—let’s work together toward a path that feels right for you.
