I am a dedicated therapist passionate about supporting individuals and couples on their journey to resilience and well-being.

We all endure challenges at some point or another in our lives yet we continue to strive forward to find peace, solace, content, or happiness. Therapy can help identify those goals, overcome barriers, and henceforth, head toward betterment & enrichment via personal growth.

Hello! Having trouble communicating your needs and setting boundaries? Are you struggling to balance your bicultural identity? Are you parent struggling with the behavior or emotional needs of your child(ren)? Are you often irritated and don't know why? Are you not feeling sure of "who you are"? I have experience working with individuals of various age groups, from children and adolescents to adults. While it's essential to explore past experiences to gain context, I believe this alone is not enough.

As a therapist, I believe I can work with most situations because I am eager to learn from you, to research, and to problem solve with you for the best solutions regarding your current need for therapy. I believe I am astute at assisting missed possibilities or blinders that might be hindering you and your ability to live the life you know is possible. This can be related to uprooting past traumas, coping with current stressors, or the uncertainty of developing your life purpose. I listen carefully to assist with ruptured relationships, strained life circumstances, hindered growth, and the grief and loss that comes from these hurts.

My path into mental health was inspired by my desire to help others achieve a life of fulfillment and balance. I learned that sexuality, gender identity, self expression and relationship intelligence are importance concepts when identifying individual life satisfaction. These topics can often times be taboo to discuss in our society, leading to feelings of guilt/shame, increased isolation and loneliness. My goal is to normalize these conversations and therapy.
