Navigating through life can at times be challenging. Life stressors may bring forth a myriad of emotions that can be overwhelming and debilitating. Past hurts may intrude and impinge on your way of adapting and succeeding in life. Through psychotherapy, I aim to provide you with a safe space that would allow for a deeper understanding of the challenges you encounter and its impact on the areas of your work, school, and relationships. The safe space that we would work together to create will make way for collaborative reflections and discoveries through self observations, self attunement, and self awareness.

If so, I am here for you. Life hurts and I want to help you heal. You don't have to carry this all by yourself.
