Our world today is full of challenges. Many stressors in life knock us off balance, and we feel overwhelmed, distressed, sometimes angry, sad and lonely. But you do not need to face the challenges alone. I am passionate to help people regain the balance by being more attuned to themselves - their identities, emotions, and physical needs. I work collaboratively with my clients to explore and identify ways to meet their goals, and provide tools and interventions as fitting. Most importantly, I walk alongside them in their journey to attain health and growth.

I enjoy helping clients learn about themselves and validate their experiences. Help them create choices that are based on their values. Gain understand that they aren’t “crazy” and make connections to their upbringing or family dynamics. My passion is working with the BIPOC community process generational trauma related to immigration, discrimination, and prejudice. I specifically enjoy working with first and second generation adult individuals.

Addiction is more than just a struggle with substances; it's a profound battle that affects every aspect of an individual's life. It can strain relationships, disrupt careers, and take a toll on your health, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and stuck in a cycle of pain. I understand how hard it can be to break free, especially when the weight of shame or fear of judgment feels heavy. But you don’t have to go through this alone—it’s okay to ask for help. Together, we’ll uncover your strengths and equip you with new tools to regain control and move forward.
