My intention is to provide a therapeutic space where you will feel seen, heard and acknowledged in a non-judgmental way...a space where you will feel less alone and supported. I welcome you and want to meet you where you are on your journey. My role is to accompany you and collaborate with you to create a safe and engaging therapeutic process. Psychotherapy can help you gain self-awareness and clarity about patterns that do not serve you well and may cause suffering. Our work together may lead you towards more freedom, equanimity, hope, inner integration, and improvement in relationships.
I work with adults on a variety of issues including stress management, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, work-related issues, life transitions, cultural issues, grief and loss. My work is rooted in Somatic Psychotherapy, Mindfulness and Attachment Theory. I approach my work from strength-based and culturally affirming clinical perspectives.
Psychotherapy can help us to become more resourceful and resilient. I have had the privilege of working with clients of diverse backgrounds. I have witnessed how therapy can empower people to improve their lives, even amid painful and traumatic circumstances. I offer a free 15 minutes consultation to find out if we are a good fit to work together.
