Are you a giver, healer, or fixer who feels depleted, empty, unworthy, lonely, and unsatisfied on the inside? Do you struggle with understanding who you are and expressing your needs, preferences, and wants? You may feel a sense of emptiness in your life that cannot be filled by work, friends, family, or food; nor can you escape it through instant gratifications or mindless distractions. You may recognize that this way of being is no longer sustainable and you are ready for change.
As a bicultural and a bilingual therapist with a passion for working with people of color and LGBTQ individuals, I can help you reconnect with your whole and authentic self, create a more balanced life, prevent burnout, and develop mutually nurturing relationships. We can work together toward greater clarity, insight, peace, and a life worth living.
Ready to make the change? I encourage you to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation through my website. I offer a compassionate, supportive, and challenging space for healing and transformation. I often bring my dog, Oliver, to work with me. He is a trained therapy dog and can provide a calming and grounding presence in the therapy room.
