I imagine that you may be living the life you're working hard for and those around you would generally describe you as well put together, but you know that deep down, your inner world doesn't seem to match the outside—internally it’s a struggle; you feel overwhelmed, down, not enough, and disconnected and super challenged in your relationships, and in this world, maybe different and othered. You crave to be fully seen and accepted, and ultimately have a loving and healthy relationship with yourself and those around you. I totally get it.

I arrive to session as a human first, therapist second. I offer heart-forward and culturally-affirming therapy for exploration of your inner world and relationship. People who enjoy working with me tend to appreciate the longer-term relationship and trust we build together, the casual and safe space we create together, the flexibility and creativity to explore both practically and in-depth, and the autonomy and self-discovery that I encourage. They like being guided to explore their own paths, uncertainties, and curiosities.

If you find yourself feeling ready for exploration, I’m ready when you are!
