One of the most important factors in the success of therapy is the creation of a safe, confidential space. In this setting an individual can express all the thoughts, feelings and beliefs which they often feel unable to share, for fear of judgement or disappointing others. Clients often relate a great sense of relief when they verbalize these difficult or confusing thoughts and find that they are supported and validated. Once these inner voices are freely and safely expressed a client can more effectively identify patterns of beliefs which limit or alter and often hinder their efforts to feel whole and at peace.

I believe the dynamic between client and therapist is one of our most valuable assets in therapy. I strive to meet you where you are to support and hold space for you to reach honest emotional expression, an integrated understanding of your experiences, and embodied satisfaction. I approach my work with compassion and curiosity, offering a welcoming, creative and humorous space. Every individual brings their own perception of their needs and worldview. I place great focus on identity, culture, and environment for this space to not only process personal struggles but to also combat oppressive exteriors that compromise our wellbeing.

As a Queer/LGBTQ individual who has worked extensively within my community, I have learned that everyone has their own idea of what it means to suffer, but we need not approach it alone nor without help. First and foremost, I believe that individual needs and each relationship is unique; this informs the work I do with clients. If you are not feeling seen or heard in your relationships with others, be they romantic or otherwise, we can work together to build the needed skills for you or you and your partner to better navigate needs.

I offer counseling to adolescents and adults on anxiety, depression, identity and self-esteem issues. Being foreign born, I experienced the struggle of identity challenge and that makes me sensitive to providing care to to clients who feel they are different from others - cultural or gender identity or feeling stigmatized due to a mental health diagnosis. I believe in empowering people to write their own story of resilience, no matter what they’ve been through.

Do you feel as though you are seen and understood in relationships? Or have you at times felt like you are "too much" or "not enough"? You are not alone. Many of us struggle to feel "normal" in a culture that pathologizes so much about who we are. This can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and the world around us. The therapeutic relationship can offer a warm and accepting space to explore yourself and your wants and needs. Through mindfulness and somatic attunement, I will support you in strengthening the connections between your heart, body and mind so you can feel more grounded, connected, and aligned.

We all struggle; sometimes, it's too heavy to manage alone. We feel shame for our flaws and weaknesses. I know the feeling all too well. We are taught all of our lives that we must struggle on our own and that asking for help is the last and final resort. Ultimately, this leads to isolation and loneliness. However, I say no. There is no flaw in your character or judgment to reach out and say, "I need help." If you have experiences to process, pain to heal, or want a better understanding of yourself, you are more than welcome to reach out.
