Are you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or struggling to find balance in your life? I’m here to support you in navigating life’s challenges with empathy, creativity, and care. Together, we can create a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your experiences, uncover your strengths, and work toward healing and growth.I specialize in supporting individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, self-esteem struggles, burnout, and relationship difficulties.
I’m particularly passionate about working with BIPOC folks and immigrants exploring cultural identity, women navigating self-worth and self-criticism, and anyone managing stress in relationships. I also work with those feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, burnout, or life’s demands, as well as men seeking to connect more deeply with their emotions.
Reaching out to therapy is a courageous first step toward understanding yourself better, and I’m honored to walk alongside you as you explore new perspectives, heal, and grow. If you’re ready to take that step, I invite you to reach out. Together, we’ll uncover your goals, your values, and what matters to you as you move toward a more fulfilling life.
