Struggling with low self-esteem, cultural stressors, anxiety, or depression? Feeling burdened by shame and the pressure from your inner critic to "fix" yourself? You deserve compassion, not criticism. After all, drill sergeants prepare us for war, they do not foster growth. In our work together, we'll challenge these frameworks and focus on fostering insight, mindfulness, and self-compassion. The goal is not to fix you but to help you embrace and understand yourself with grace.

Together, we will explore how we can nurture our wounded parts and encourage growth within our sense of selves. With extensive inpatient experience, I specialize in depression, anxiety, and cultural stress. My client-centered approach blends warmth, empathy, effective rapport building, and humor to make therapy engaging. Well-versed in Internal Family Systems and various modalities, I tailor my approach to match client needs, supporting their healing and growth.

I understand how challenging this journey can be, but you don’t have to face it alone. Reach out for a free consultation, and if we’re not the perfect match, I’ll help you find other options to make your search easier. If we don’t connect, I commend your courage in seeking help—your resilience is inspiring, and I’m rooting for you. Take care and stay safe.
