You might be here because you are struggling to get through the day, weighed down by sadness or constant anxiety. Maybe you have lost someone, or you are facing a big change that has left you feeling lost. You are looking for someone who can help you find your way back to reconnect with who you really are.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over two decades of experience providing therapy to a diverse population. My expertise lies in working with individuals facing depression, anxiety and grief. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches and a multicultural perspective to create a tailored plan for each person’s unique needs.
I bring a genuine curiosity about your unique story into our sessions. My goal is to create a warm, empathic, authentic and nurturing environment , where you feel safe to embark on a journey of deep self exploration. Together, we can explore past patterns, uncover your innate strengths, and address life's meaning and purpose, leading to resilience & healing.
