Great to meet you!

Having lived and worked in 3 different countries over the decade, I have experienced different cultures and I have worked with many people of various backgrounds and ethnicities who have had experience in a spectrum of issues, and I am here for you. Our emotional wellbeing is utmost important and finding someone who is non-judgmental, understanding, and empathetic to your situation is not easy!

My approach to therapy

Therapy is about YOU, but it’s also about our working relationship and us! Through our work together, I get to witness my clients grow more confident as they discover themselves beneath all their self-doubt. My priority is always to develop on building rapport, trust, and transparency in our initial sessions. Therapy should never be rushed, and I cater accordingly to client’s pace and needs.

Seeking out therapy is a challenging, yet courageous step for anyone to take. It is my privilege to join you in this journey of growth and see you create the life you envision for yourself.

What you can expect from me

Our sessions will always be a safe space to speak your mind. My mission is to create a safe environment for each and every person I work with to express themselves and feel heard.

Relationships don't always fit into one definition. For individuals/couples exploring ethical non-monogamy who are seeking support in building healthy, fulfilling relationships, I welcome you to reach out.
