Hi, I'm a culturally responsive therapist who aims to be compassionate open-hearted. Some problems I can help with are: feeling blue, imposter syndrome, stress, anger, boundaries, parenting, creative blocks, break ups, anxiety and grief.

Struggling with anxiety and depression despite your successes? Even as a high achiever, you might find yourself wondering how you reached this point. Despite your accomplishments, a heavy sense of guilt and sadness persists due to an inner battle. But remember, you're not alone.

For couples, I also offer specialized therapy to enhance communication, resolve conflicts, and foster deeper connections.

We all want to feel whole and achieve meaningful goals in our lives. To do so requires honesty and dedication, especially around the insecurities and defense mechanisms that have become ingrained within our personality. I can help you zoom out to gain more familiarity with your true Self trying to break through the surface of your persona. On one hand, it can be very anxiety provoking to feel that there is more to life than this. But, at the same time, it is an invitation to know, forgive and love yourself unconditionally. An invitation to feel into unknown selves and shadows, to accept You exactly the way you really are.
