Being told your voice is not valued because you’re young is the worst. Your voice matters. Often as a young adult/teen/child, we’re told, “just do it,” and “that’s just the way it is.” Or maybe you’re the parent wanting to connect with your child and asking yourself, “what happened?” I am here to support Gen Z and/or their families with each family member finding their voice, being seen for their individuality, and fostering reconnection with one another and your family’s roots/values. Every voice in the family matters and is valuable and strong and I would be honored to support your quest in nurturing this personal/family growth.
I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and moved here to live a more holistic lifestyle. Being raised in a multicultural area allowed me to learn and develop an open-minded, growth perspective toward people of all backgrounds and lifestyles. I carry this open minded thought process into sessions honoring the client’s truth and desires for therapy.
In sessions I offer a multi medium approach collaborating with the client and family to guide the direction of therapy and to provide interesting (and hopefully sometimes fun!) therapy-based activities. I am currently a therapist at Transform for young children, teens, and young adults who is stoked and honored to support your needs in therapy.
