I'm a dually-licensed counselor with seven years of experience in addiction and mental health counseling. I specialize in treating substance use disorders, behavioral addictions such as gambling and sex/porn addiction, and co-occurring mental health conditions. My favorite clients to work with are those impacted by addiction in someone close to them. I also enjoy working with sexual wellness from these experiences, and strive to create a sex-positive safe space for clients to explore their identities and interpersonal relationship dynamics, including LGBTQIA+, polyamory, and ethical nonmonogamy.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by everything that comes with starting over in a new country? Are clashes between your own culture and American culture causing you stress? Maybe you'd rather forget the things you experienced back home. Or perhaps you grew up here with parents who were born in a different country, and you feel stuck between two different cultures. Especially if you're feeling sad, stressed, or lonely, I want you to know that this is perfectly normal for people who are new to a country, or children of immigrants, and I'm here to help you embrace and overcome these unique challenges.

If you've been looking for a place to let your hair down in a judgment-free zone, this is the place for you. I believe therapy should be genuine—not overly formal or intimidating. Our approach centers on unconditional positive regard, making sure every client feels respected and valued. We focus on understanding what happened to you, rather than what's "wrong" with you, using a trauma-informed approach to help break down experiences in an accessible way. In our first session, I will share a bit about myself to help ease the initial anxiety of talking to someone you don't know!
