If you're experiencing a difficult life transition, burnout, self-doubt, or generational trauma, you don’t have to go through it alone. I offer a warm and collaborative space to explore emotions, build resilience, and reconnect with yourself and your life. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies like ACT and DBT, and play and art therapy for those who find healing through creativity. I believe growth begins with self-understanding, validation, and the courage to rewrite old patterns.
I hold two master's degrees: one in psychological research and one in counseling. With my background, I bring a holistic lens to therapy, drawing from diverse experiences in mental health, education, career counseling, and research.
I'd love to help you move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling at peace- and maybe even empowered to take on whatever comes your way.
