My communication style

I create a very safe environment for my clients to express themselves. I am compassionate and welcome all aspects of different emotions into my therapy room. Clients state that I am understanding and they always feel better after a session because they feel heard.

My journey to mental healthcare

My multicultural background and experience drive me to understand the uniqueness of each client and support them towards their own personal journey. My passion and devotion are to help people have deeper and fuller experiences in life while I provide compassion, empathy, and mindfulness.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting by collaborating with you about what you want to work on, what your capabilities are, and how we can achieve goals together. We discuss what portion of the work gets done during therapy sessions and what you work on after. I regularly check back to set new goals and recognize achievements.

Our first session

The first session is always the hardest, but also the best. This is when you are the bravest—you've just walked into a space with a stranger. I make that experience human and acknowledge it's hard. We'll spend time getting to know each other, I'll answer your questions and tell you what to expect.

I identify as...
