Many times in life we find ourselves stuck in a phase of this is just how it is right now. Frequently during those phases, the only thing we can do is hang on, keep our heads above water, and wait for life to settle. Once the how it is phase comes to an end, there is commonly a new version of our life that emerges, and there is work to be done. Work that we may have never done before, challenges that seem so great that we have no idea where to begin. Luckily, you do not have to do this alone.

Life is about how we experience the world around us. The current landscape of the world has led to increased stress and isolation.

I can help integrate difficult life experiences into current reality so you can achieve a more fulfilled and meaningful life.

Sharing our inner experiences with someone can often feel frightening, which is exactly why I place such an importance on connection and acceptance in the therapeutic process. I aim to create a safe environment that will invite my clients to delve deeper into their personal narrative, as I truly believe we are not built to process emotions alone.

Life often requires multi-tasking and keeping up with the fast pace. For many of us, it is hard to stop and find the time to attend to the soul.

Anger, stress, illness, anxiety, and depression do not exist in a vacuum and involve a complex interplay of personal, familial, and cultural dynamics.

Life is tough, and we are generally our own worst critics. That's where I like to come in. I believe my clients are experts on themselves and their own lived experiences, and I aim to be a source of empathy, compassion, and authenticity for them while we we increase their capacity for self-compassion and understanding. There are unique challenges that come with having intersectional- and cross-cultural identities. I enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds, and helping clients navigate the complexities of spiritual journeys and faith transitions. Therapy is for everyone, because people need to feel connected and heard.
