Have you found yourself at a crossroads in your life, not sure which path to take? Do you feel like you've exhausted all of your options, and don't know where else to turn? Does life seem like too much, living in a society that makes it difficult to prioritize self and collective care? I believe that many common struggles we face are a result of the systems we are surrounded by. I aim to approach therapy from a multicultural, intersectional lens.
I am a queer therapist who enjoys working side-by-side with clients who are interested in exploring their identity, going through life transitions, or experiencing anxiety or depression. I offer a warm, supportive space to process the things you may normally be afraid to say aloud, and foster change inside and outside the therapy room.
Everyone deserves a non-judgmental space to explore who they are and how they can grow, and I would be honored to join you on your journey. My job is to guide you in promoting radical acceptance within yourself and help foster empowerment so that you can create change in your life.
