Life can feel overwhelming during times of change, especially when you’re carrying cultural expectations, self-doubt, or pressure to succeed. You may find yourself caught between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming, unsure of the next step forward. Whether you’re navigating intergenerational family dynamics, working through self-esteem challenges, or feeling burned out from high achievement or competitive sports, therapy can offer a supportive space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.
I use an integrative approach combining CBT, ACT, and a person-centered foundation. My work is collaborative and strengths-based. I support individuals navigating cultural identity, life transitions, and performance stress to build resilience and move forward with clarity and confidence.
Before transitioning into mental health, I spent over a decade in graduate admissions supporting individuals through major educational decisions. As a nationally competitive Olympic weightlifter, I also understand the balance between ambition and well-being, and strive to create a space where clients feel seen, supported, and prepared for what’s next.
