Many people become so used to carrying emotional pain, supporting others, and handling life on their own that they forget what it feels like to feel supported themselves. Over time, anxiety, trauma, grief, addiction, burnout, and difficult experiences can leave people emotionally drained, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode. Therapy provides a compassionate and judgment-free space to process emotions, rebuild self-worth, strengthen resilience, develop healthier coping skills, and begin creating meaningful healing, balance, and lasting personal growth.

I also believe that past and present experiences shape who we are, how we choose to define ourselves, and our relationships with others. I guide individuals who have difficulty in navigating concerns regarding identity, low self-esteem, grief, and burnout.

Therapy isn’t just about talking; sometimes you need to swear, shake it out, cry, or even doodle.

Laughter can be healing, and sometimes life’s harsh realities need a little humor. Together, we'll create goals at a comfortable pace for you. I specialize in supporting young adults with identity formation and self-acceptance. Additionally, assisting individuals across the lifespan managing anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, and life’s challenges.

I utilize CBT and Narrative Therapy. The reason for this is because Albert Ellis was influenced by philosophy; specifically, he was inspired by Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius, who are significant inspirations when it comes to my own approach and psychological growth. I want to embody the concept that Albert Ellis states: "Changing one’s internal philosophy is the key to psychological growth and change." I have been a therapist for over a year, starting May 2024.

Having lived between cultures, I understand what it’s like to feel split—to belong everywhere and nowhere at once. My work explores how relationships, culture, emotions, and survival strategies shape who you are. I don’t shy away from the messy or uncomfortable.

I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families facing trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, grief, oppression, life transitions, identity and relationship challenges.
