Introduction

Working with you means having someone who truly listens to your pain, no matter its form. Whether it's anxiety, depression, shame, or fear, I'm here to walk beside you, helping you not just cope - but thrive. In a world that often tells us to bear our burdens alone, especially under the pressures of society, culture, or family, it can all become overwhelming. This pain can seep into every facet of our lives. You deserve a compassionate, empathetic space to release the pain you've been carrying for too long. I am dedicated to providing a safe, non-judgmental space where you can lay it all out on the table and feel genuinely heard and understood. My specialties include supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, those with intergenerational religious or cultural trauma, and those who struggle with depression or anxiety. When you walk into the therapy room, I recognize that you bring along a diverse and rich history of experiences with you that have greatly impacted and shaped who you are. I cherish all of these parts of you, and am committed to exploring your path to healing. I can't wait to help you uncover the strength and resilience within you.
