Have you asked, "Am I normal? Is this normal?" I hear these questions asked as clients figure out what "normal" is while dealing with overwhelming, worrisome, and scary thoughts/feelings. I can help find ways to cope with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress and anger in positive, healthy ways. I use video and in office visits to connect with you where you are comfortable. You can share your difficult and upsetting issues while exploring alternative ways of coping and making sense of it all. We can discuss what has and what hasn't worked well in the past. I can be be supportive to all ages from children to teens and adults.

Along my journey in becoming a therapist, one mantra has stuck with me throughout: “You are the expert of your life.” This mantra encompasses my main beliefs as a therapist— that you are the expert of your story. I hope to help you find agency and alignment with the truest version of yourself. Through mindfulness and intentionality, I hope to create a safe space to challenge, grow and maintain the values that can help you nurture your highest self. As a Person of the Global Majority with ADHD, anxiety, and trauma, I understand the struggles of navigating life in a world that was not designed to hold space for you.

I believe there are many people who suffer silently. It can be difficult to reach out for help, especially when feeling alone, vulnerable, misunderstood, or hopeless. I often work with adults who have been struggling with their sense of self, though they appear "okay" to others. Many of my clients have recent or past unresolved trauma and/or childhood issues that have never been fully resolved. Many who reach out to me desperately want to heal but feel stuck and don't know how to move forward.

I may be the right fit if you believe your coping skills are only getting you so far, find that therapy didn’t “hit the spot" in the past, or if you’ve had some success with traditional talk therapy + other healing modalities but would like to dive deeper into your inner world. I believe my role is that of a passenger - to ride alongside and support you on your journey to cultivating the internal resources you already embody, so you may lead with more clarity and compassion in your day-to-day life.
