Hello and welcome! Seeking a therapist is an important step toward your well-being. You may be anxious, depressed, stressed, or struggling with relationships in your life and looking for a way to feel better. I specialize in working with people who identify as LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, immigrants, and children of immigrants while affirming their identities and lived experiences. As a child of immigrants myself, I understand the unique challenges and perspectives that can come with trying to reconcile one’s individual identity and culture with the dominant culture-at-large.

My mission as a therapist is to affirm the best in you.

I seek to provide that safety with a warm and collaborate approach to treatment. The services I provide are trauma focused and identity affirming. I have experience working with young adults in community mental health, as well as with adolescents in a high school setting.

Have you tended to the needs of your family members and friends for as long as you can remember? Perhaps you were called an “old soul” when you were younger, a reflection of your deep empathy and insight, yet this strength has also left you feeling isolated and invisible when it comes to your own needs. Throughout your life, you have found yourself striving for perfection, feeling the weight of expectation, and grappling with anxiety that can feel overwhelming. The independent and reliable mini adult at age 10 has become an exhausted and lonely woman in her late 20’s or early 30’s who usually suffers in silence.

Part of the work of therapy is to strengthen our belief that a future can exist for us, beyond the one we're able to grasp in the present moment. The fact that you're browsing through these profiles tells me that you may be considering taking the chance to see how things could feel different in your own life, better even! That reflects a powerful sense of inner-caring. Therapy can be used to clarify and untangle complex thoughts, feelings, behaviors, sensory cues, fears, and desires. This increased self-awareness can provide the foundation for taking steps in new and enlivening directions.
