You don’t feel like you’re “enough” — smart enough, successful enough, attractive enough, etc. Throw in social media, and the comparisons are a daily struggle. You constantly worry about what others think or say about you, and this might affect your relationships. At some point, you stopped being friends with yourself. And you want it to change, and you’re ready to put in the work. The good news is, you’ve found a therapist (Ahem: Me) who wants to help. I’ve struggled with low self-esteem, as a teen and young adult, and it. Is. Hard. In our work together, we’ll explore what you need, understand why, and how to get there.

Navigating the transitions of adolescence and young adulthood can be one of the most stressful things we do in our lifetime. From physical changes, emotional ups and downs, to big life decisions, this period of time is pivotal and can be confusing to figure out alone. Without the right support, we can feel lost, stuck, hopeless, & disconnected from ourselves and what we love. If this sounds familiar to you, I'm here to help. I'm a licensed psychologist with years of experience helping young people navigate complex problems & emotions. I enjoy helping others figure out who they are, what they want, and how to live their best lives.

Suppose you seek a detailed, thorough psychosocial immigration evaluation handled carefully and priced at $ 1,300. In that case, you have reached the right evaluator. I am not the cheapest nor the most expensive, BUT I am confident I am suitable for you. Please read the Google reviews on my website written by immigration lawyers, and you will know why I am the right choice. Between the interview and the report's writing, the process will be approximately 7 hours. I am here to make the process less stressful. As someone told me at the end of the evaluation: "That's it?" "Wow." The person did not know what to expect.

During my years of practice, I realized that many mental health issues are rooted from past negative or traumatic experiences. This is why I decided to specialize in working with trauma, PTSD, dual diagnoses, and other related issues. We can work together to help you understand why you are experiencing distress and develop strategies to manage it.
