There are moments in life that change us, and challenge us to grow. I see these moments as important turning points, where we're given the chance expand what we’re capable of. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in old patterns, therapy can be a space to slow down and find clarity on who you want to be in the world.
My style is kind, curious, & creative. I enjoy asking questions, offering reflections, and encouraging action. I gently challenge clients to choose self-compassion over self-criticism, living from a place of values versus judgment. For clients who commit to the work, I have seen them build stronger identities, deeper relationships, and greater confidence.
I mostly work with adults ages 18+, as well as couples & family members. I specialize in first-generation Americans (like myself), tech workers, & care-based professionals. I am an ally for LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and disability-impacted clients. When you’re ready, please feel free to reach out for a complimentary consult call. I'd love to meet you :)

I use expressive arts to help clients reduce rumination through creativity. Through narrative therapy, I empower clients to be the authors of their life stories. Through parts-work, I help clients understand and embrace all their competing "parts". Lastly, as a relational therapist, I help clients develop "relational ethics" when dealing with others.
