You've been holding a lot- quietly, and carefully! Maybe you’re trying to move through the various challenges along your fertility, pregnancy, postpartum journey, or the transition to parenthood; navigating life between cultures, or facing a transition that’s left you unmoored. I work alongside couples and individuals who are often carrying the invisible weight of cultural expectations, anxiety, self-doubt and are looking for a space where they can feel seen and supported without having to explain the “why.” I offer a warm, culturally attuned space to help you reconnect with yourself and move toward relief, clarity and healing.

My ideal client is someone navigating life on a razor’s edge, where emotions often hit with such force that they feel impossible to manage. They likely struggle with a heavy, paralyzing depression or the high-intensity turbulence of a personality disorder that makes them feel 'too much' for the people in their lives. They are exhausted by a cycle of crises, feeling like traditional 'talk therapy' hasn't been sturdy enough to hold the weight of their pain. They come to me during their 'stuck' moments—when the survival strategies they've used for years are no longer working and they feel a frightening loss of control over daily life.

Most clients come into therapy because of their current difficulty resolving a "presenting problem". That problem could be grief. It could be relationship troubles with partners, peers, or parents. It could be tied to substance abuse. Or trauma. Or both. It could be work-related. It could be a million things. Whatever the presenting problem, it tends to give the client physiological and psychological discomfort, which leads to the search for answers and relief, which often leads to counseling.

“After trauma the world becomes sharply divided between those who know and those who don’t. People who have not shared the traumatic experience cannot be trusted, because they can’t understand it” - Dr. B. Van Der Kolk. Because of my own experiences with trauma, I have a unique understanding of the importance of working with someone who “gets it”. Trauma and grief are incredibly heavy and affect all aspects of our lives. Through therapeutic work, I have found my way to the other side. My passion is to help others do the same.
