The process of beginning or continuing therapy can feel confusing. I value supporting and empowering you through this process. Therapy is an opportunity to create an easier life map; we explore how to navigate your thinking and behaving patterns, and those of others. As a team, we work on cultivating a safer mental space for you to thrive.

I believe that traditional talk therapy isn’t right for everyone, at every stage of life. That’s why I offer my experience in drama therapy and therapeutic art approaches as resources for our sessions together. Together, we will explore what supports you best in the therapy space.

I have experience with a variety of therapeutic approaches, and prioritize offering diverse and multicultural perspectives in session. I approach therapy through a strengths-based, cultural-equity and trauma-informed lens. I’m additionally informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Drama Therapy, Liberation Psychology and Relational Cultural Theory.

A beauty of therapy is that you’re not experiencing your struggle alone. We’re here to help, and I look forward to supporting you.

Specialties

Adolescents & Young Adults

Navigating the pressures of school, social life, and self-discovery is uniquely challenging. I provide a supportive and confidential space for teens and young adults to explore their identity, manage stress, and build the coping skills they need to thrive during these formative years.

LGBTQIA+

Seeking a therapist who truly understands your experience? I provide affirming and knowledgeable support for the LGBTQIA+ community. Together, we can navigate identity, coming out, relationships, and the unique stressors you may face in a safe and validating space.

Anxiety

Feeling overwhelmed by worry, panic, or a constant sense of dread? You don’t have to manage anxiety alone. I provide supportive strategies and practical tools to help you calm your nervous system, quiet racing thoughts, and reclaim a sense of peace and control in your daily life.

Depression

When depression makes everything feel heavy, hopeless, or exhausting, reaching out is a brave first step. Together, we will work to rediscover motivation, challenge negative thought patterns, and help you reconnect with the joy and meaning in your life.

Immigration

The journey of immigration involves profound loss, change, and cultural adjustment that can deeply impact your mental health. I provide a supportive space to navigate the stress of acculturation, process grief for your home country, and build resilience as you create a new sense of belonging and identity.
