I aim to create a space that accommodates all of you: your cultural identities, sexuality/gender, or neurodivergence. You may have had a therapist tell you that you’re “too self-aware” for therapy, or that “it seems like you have it all figured out”. And still, you’re dealing with buried trauma, emotions that feel too overwhelming to acknowledge, and wondering if there’s something wrong with you for “not getting it”. I want to meet you where you’re feeling stuck and try something new together. I...

Have you felt overwhelmed by emotions that you find yourself unable to verbalize what they are and cry or panic in replacement of it? Do you reminisce on the past, moments that you wish you could “go back in time and do differently with what you know now?”. Or perhaps felt invalidated by those around you because communication is difficult or even scary. As a POC, I know deeply what it means and feels like to be taught to hide your emotions and reactions for the sake of family or experience the s...

I approach psychotherapy holistically, from the position that our emotions, thoughts, and behavior hang together in ways that make sense emotionally, even if this is not always apparent to us. Many of us who seek therapy come because we find ourselves repeating unwanted behavioral, emotional, and relationship patterns without understanding them or being able to change them. I believe, on the basis of research and my clinical work, that getting to the root of unwanted patterns is a matter of faci...
