Mental health is an essential part of our well-being. Taking care of our mental well-being is as important as our physical well-being. Unfortunately, for some, mental health falls last in Maslow's hierarchy. Taking care of ourselves and finding balance is not easy. It takes time and may even require multiple attempts. I want to create a space where making mistakes and being imperfect is welcomed, creating a safe environment where you can be exactly who you were meant to be. I always remind my clients during our sessions that the only person judging them is themselves.
Using radical acceptance and self-compassion, I work with individuals to radically accept their situation for what it is without judgment or criticism. With the world condemning so many things, we can learn to accept and care for ourselves, as well as the parts of us that are difficult to love and accept.
If you're interested and this is something you're looking for, I'd love to meet with you! It takes time, however, if you input something, you will surely see an output. Feel free to reach out to me via email or by the contact listed here.

I specialize in PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I focus heavily on generational trauma and cultural/immigration challenges from a 1st or 2nd generation perspective. Trauma can be extremely complex, and there are many variations to understand what would be traumatic versus not. These concepts will be explained during my sessions, and we can explore how and if they relate to you.

I use a lot of DBT skills and mindfulness activities/exercises. I find great value and importance in being mindful (not just aware), which promotes healthier boundaries and a deeper understanding of one's emotions.
