Great to meet you!

Thank you for taking the time to consider me as your new therapist. It takes a lot of courage to start something new. I am a licensed Clinical Counselor and credentialed Dance/Movement Therapist who specializes in working with adult children of immigrant families, those who struggle with anxiety, and intergenerational trauma. I look forward to connecting with you!

My approach to therapy

I am very client centered, and meet you where you are at. I am here to listen and to guide, and once trust is established happy to suggest new modalities to try in the therapeutic process. What are you passionate about? Let's integrate that.

What you can expect from me

I am passionate about helping people access unknown creative parts of self and believe everyone deserves a space to truly be heard without judgment and with acceptance and care. I believe healing happens through a trusting relationship and my hope is to establish that with you.
