Great to meet you!

Have you been through an experience that has made you feel stuck, isolated, or confused? Maybe it has been a traumatic experience, relationship problems, professional challenges, cultural/racial experiences or even everyday stress.

We will work on your healing, building healthy skills to cope, developing healthy patterns that work for you and take you toward a more joyous life.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I provide a space for you to unpack the things that make life challenging, sort them out, explore them, and work on them in a safe, judgement-free space. I am a culturally sensitive, compassionate therapist who works from a client/therapist collaborative approach.

You are the expert of your life, and I am here to offer support and insight. I have experience working with people experiencing stress, cultural issues, survivors of abuse, grief, and those seeking to heal individual or family trauma.

What you can expect from our first session

My clients can expect to know themselves better and gain understanding of how certain events have affected them. My clients will gain knowledge of skills that help them cope and feel empowered to take charge of their lives.
