About

Maybe you're very clear about what you want to work on, maybe you're just not feeling like your best self and don't even know why. This may be your first time in therapy or your fifth, either way you're interested in learning more about yourself and your relationships and want to make some important changes. I believe our lived experiences, from our race/gender/sexual orientation to our birth order to even our line of work impacts us in ongoing, evolving ways. I'm someone who can give you honest feedback, challenge you, & hold space for your emotions with empathy. I use a mix of therapeutic and coaching styles to support women who have experienced a variety of issues such as trauma, unhealthy relationships, substance use/misuse, anxiety, depression, and identity based discrimination. I also support folks who are navigating first generation experiences (immigration, higher education, and/or healing journeys).
