Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, emotionally exhausted? You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, academic/career pressure, relationship difficulties, isolation , alcohol use, or uncertainty about the future. Sometimes life transitions, family expectations, cultural adjustment, or rejection experiences can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and unsure of what path to take next. I work with teens, college students, and adults navigating difficult emotional experiences while trying to regain a sense of stability, confidence, and purpose. I also support individuals adjusting to new environments, cultures, or systems.
My approach is collaborative, supportive, and goal-oriented. Together, we will identify the patterns and challenges that may be keeping you stuck while building practical tools to help you better manage emotions, improve relationships, strengthen self-awareness, and create meaningful change in your life.
I strive to provide a space where clients from diverse backgrounds feel understood, respected, and supported. Reaching out for support can be difficult, especially when you have been carrying things on your own for a long time. You do not have to navigate it alone. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to help determine whether we would be a good fit.

When I work with clients with out-of-control anxiety, self-harm, and substance use, I help them deeply understand the intent of these feelings and behaviors. Through a collaborative treatment plan, clients develop goal-related steps focusing on what they can control that can improve their safety and functioning. Once clients have identified where to focus their energy they start feeling better.

My primary focus in the first sessions is to help both your body and brain feel safe and stable. Utilizing Somatic, CBT, IFS, and DBT approaches, I help you review for instance the impact of anxiety or trauma on body and brain, assist you with identifying sensations and feelings without shaming them and respond to their intentions with effective resources.
