Life, at times, can feel heavy and you don’t need to carry the burden of your struggles or experiences alone. It can be challenging to find a space to open up about all the different areas of your life that make you who you are, past and present, and your hope for the future. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, symptoms of trauma, 1st gen family or cultural conflicts, coping with life transitions, relationship issues, identifying & setting healthy boundaries, or the myriad challenges that can arise, I am here to support you in finding your peace.
I have extensive training in trauma and EMDR that I apply in my practice with a culturally sensitive, antiracist, anti-oppressive structures and systems approach. As a 1.5 gen immigrant, I am passionate about helping BIPOC navigate their journey with warmth and compassion because we all deserve the opportunity to thrive and not just survive.
It's difficult to identify our strengths when faced with obstacles and sometimes we need someone to believe in us when we don't believe in ourselves. I firmly have faith in a person’s capacity to change and unlearn ingrained negative self-beliefs. I provide a warm, understanding, & welcoming environment for you to leave feeling lighter and breathing easier.
