Speaking from personal and professional experience, I understand how difficult it can be to reach out for help. Asking for support can sometimes come with feelings of shame, guilt, or fear, especially within our communities or culture where going to therapy might still carry a stigma. But let me reassure you - recognizing when you need help is a testament to your resilience and wisdom. Perhaps you are feeling the pressure of familial/societal expectations while trying to show up and live authentically yourself. You're the main character in your story, and you deserve to live it fully, and I would love to help.
I’m passionate about helping individuals and couples feel safe in exploring their true selves in a non-judgmental space. I believe everyone has the power to heal themselves and collaborating with one another can help facilitate the changes that will lead you to reaching your full potential. My approach is culturally sensitive and person-centered.
I strive to meet you where you are in your healing journey, providing a safe, supportive environment to explore all parts of yourself; past, present, and future. Clients say I am warm, open, and sensitive, and I help challenge them to see their circumstances in a new light. You deserve to feel well and live YOUR best life. Cheers!
