I understand you might feel stuck in the past or the same negative loop and haven’t found any meaningful progress by talking to yourself, your family, or friends. My goal is not only to give you the tools to relieve your symptoms and better cope with specific situations but also to transform your narrative and generate sustainable growth. I use an integrative and tailored approach to meet your needs and cultural values. Combining systemic and relational framework, and mindfulness practice, I’ll help you gain insight into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and align them to achieve what you most value in life.

As a New York therapist, I want to empower my clients and assist them in finding some perspective. By reframing in therapy how you perceive the issues and conflicts, and by learning new behaviors and coping skills, you can really lead an enriching, happy life. My therapy style is direct (interactive) and empathetic. Having started my career as an artist and theater-maker, I have an intimate knowledge of creative development and narrative needs.

Currently, I am the founder of Lionheart Psychotherapy, a mental health practice that offers online therapy and hosts mental health events. An ideal client for Lionheart clinicians or myself can be coming from any life experience, as long as their needs and goals focus on self-understanding, self-compassion, and healing.

"What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" asked the poet, Mary Oliver. I've been thinking about this every day since the first time I read it. It's some question, isn't it? Sometimes it inspires me. Sometimes it frightens me. Since it always challenges me, I've rooted my practice philosophy in it. It's kind of like the adult version of “what do you want to be when you grow up”? How in the world do we answer that?

Who we want to be and how we are in this moment can be different! I can understand firsthand how the intersectionality of multiple identities we all carry, along with life experiences can have a profound impact on our wellness and equilibrium.

Most importantly, it is never too late to start on the journey of self-discovery and transformation and as your therapist, I'm here to support that journey.

It can be difficult processing who we are, what we have experienced, and how we should move forward in the face of adversity.

I offer an affirming, safe space for people who identify as a POC and/or LGBTQIA+ to explore their identities holistically and deconstruct their own narrative within a larger system. Together, we can create a plan with your specific needs and goals in mind.

Many of my clients are struggling to form healthy relationships. Challenges might arise with their partners, families, friends, or coworkers. I work with them to unpack the relationship patterns they’ve been carrying since childhood so new, healthy dynamics can take root. I also enjoy working with creatives.

I believe that every human holds the innate capacity to heal, especially queer individuals whose lives are rooted in resilience.
