Introduction

Imagine this: You, at the center of a journey towards a more fulfilling life. You might be at a crossroads, navigating life's unpredictable transitions, or yearning to break free from a path that feels confining. What you're looking for is someone who truly gets it, who can be your anchor in the storm, and your guide to uncharted territories. I understand that your needs are unique, and your aspirations are deeply personal. You're seeking support, empathy, and practical tools to help you thrive. Your ultimate goal might be to find acceptance within yourself and make choices that resonate with your authentic self. I specialize in working with individuals facing trauma, depression, anxiety, body-focused repetitive behaviors, grief, and substance use. My approach is integrative, blending multicultural awareness, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness practices. Together, we'll create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your past, embrace your present, and confidently shape your future. My goal is to equip you with the tools and insights you need to improve your relationships, both with yourself and others. Let's create a therapeutic space where every aspect of your identity is honored and celebrated. Whether you're part of the LGBTQIA+ community, identify as multicultural, or simply feel like society's expectations don't align with who you truly are, I wholeheartedly invite you to connect with me. Take that deep breath, reach out, and together, we'll embark on a transformative journey towards healing and growth. *To schedule a free discovery call with me, please request an appointment under "Health and well-being Coaching"! If you'd like to schedule an intake session, request it under "Psychiatric Diagnostic".
