Life has a way of presenting us with a multitude of challenges that can leave you feeling stuck. These struggles can manifest in various ways, making each day feel like a never-ending battle. Perhaps you find yourself constantly grappling with the weight of stress or are feeling weighed down by past traumas. Maybe you're wrestling with anxiety, those persistent worries that never seem to quiet down. Or you might be experiencing the looming cloud of depression, making it difficult to find joy in even the simplest of moments. The most important thing to remember is that you don't have to navigate these challenges alone.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process that begins with establishing trust. I work with individuals who struggle with substance abuse/addiction, trauma, depression and anxiety. My commitment is to provide a supportive compassionate space where you can share your story and we can work together to better understand your challenges and identify goals to foster change. I have over 9 years of experience providing support to multicultural clients in their journey towards healing. During therapy, I help you navigate life transitions, cope with trauma and cross-cultural challenges.

The ups and downs of everyday life can not only cause you uncertainty and exhaustion but can also make individuals feel stuck with what to do next.
