English
| Deutsch Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or at a crossroads? You might be facing a major life transition, cultural or identity-related stress, or anxiety that feels hard to manage. Maybe you're adjusting to a new phase of life or trying to feel more at home in your body, identity, or relationships. My clients are often introspective and seeking clarity, relief, and self-understanding. You don’t need to have it all figured out—just a willingness to explore. I’m here to walk with you as you find your way.
I help people make sense of their experiences and reconnect with their purpose, and inner calm. I specialize in anxiety, gender identity, immigration, and life transitions. My approach is integrative and collaborative, drawing from CBT, mindfulness, and EFT Tapping. I aim to create a warm, grounded space where you can feel safe, seen, and supported.
I know how hard it can be to take that first step—especially if you’re used to holding it all together or feeling misunderstood. You don’t need perfect words or a clear goal. If something isn’t working and you’re ready for change, that’s enough. Therapy can offer relief, reflection, and quiet transformation. When you’re ready, I’m here. You’re not alone.
