In this exploration process, we may work on unfolding intergenerational traumas, learning for the first time how to set boundaries and communicate assertively while also remaining sensitive to one's cultural background and identity.

More specifically, I help clients that struggle with social and generalized anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem, and past trauma to feel confident and equipped with the tools necessary to cope, grow, and heal.

My ideal client is curious and ready to explore the therapy relationship. Working with me, you will be encouraged to develop goals, and I will gently challenge you in your self-exploration. Together, we will learn and practice healthy coping strategies for you to thrive.

Fun Fact/ About Me

🖥️ Something I always have on my desk: 
Definitely a big mug of tea. Tea over coffee any day for me!

☕️ First time therapy tip:
Sometimes the hardest part is just starting. It's already courageous that you're reaching out to begin therapy in the first place. Definitely feel free to do multiple free consultations because it's all about that clinical fit.

You're going to know who vibes with you, which topics you want to go over, and who can specialize a bit more in that. I think it's an amazing first experience for people that have a great fit and connection with their therapist.
