Accepting clients Last Updated 9 days ago

I offer therapy that is compassionate, culturally informed, and grounded in an a feminist anti-oppressive lens. Whether you’re feeling disconnected in your relationships, overwhelmed by the demands of academia, or unsure of who you are now, you don’t have to go through this alone.

Together, we’ll explore what’s weighing on you – not just as symptoms, but in the context of your full story, your values, and your strengths. Therapy can be a space to reclaim your voice, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with clarity and compassion.

If this speaks to you, please email me with your concerns.
