I believe therapy can be a catalyst for important changes we want to make in our lives. I work with folx who experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD ; people who want to improve their relationships and those who just want to learn more about themselves while building a more pleasurable and purposeful life. Many of my clients seek to enhance their sense of self by unpacking their experience of trauma in the context of varying identities, neurodiversities, family structures, and/or immigration experiences. I also work with children and their families who have experienced stress, life disruptions and trauma.

Waitlist for new clients
It can be difficult to ask for help, so let me start by congratulating you by taking the first steps in addressing your happiness and mental health. Your emotional health is very important and has an impact on your overall well-being. For far too long, stigma and fear of judgement has prevented people (especially people of color) from engaging in MH therapy.
