I believe people can start over: at any age, in any place, after any loss or transformation. As an immigrant, an artist, and a writer, I’ve walked through deep shifts in identity and belonging. Therapy, to me, is about reconnecting with who you truly are while creating room for who you're becoming. If you’re someone who thinks deeply, feels intensely, or finds healing through creativity, you’ll likely feel at home here. I also make space for the personal ways you connect with the world through nature, energy, and the wisdom already within you.
I especially enjoy working with young adults and adults navigating anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, or the invisible grief of rebuilding oneself. I have a soft spot for immigrants and for women in the midst of reimagining their lives. If you’re an artist, a thinker, a feeler (or all three) we’ll probably speak a similar language.
Therapy with me is collaborative. I don’t see myself as the expert on your life; you are. I bring knowledge from evidence-based therapy models, but I believe the most meaningful work happens when we combine that with your inner wisdom. I’m here to offer reflection, grounding, new perspectives, and encouragement as we make sense of things together.
