Are you ready to create the life you desire and experience meaningful connections? Together, we can navigate the complexities of your past experiences and break free from repetitive patterns, empowering you to overcome anxiety, depression, and other obstacles that hinder your well-being. With a deep commitment to inclusivity, I am an ally for individuals with marginalized identities, particularly those who identify as bi/multiracial and LGBTQAI2S+. My practice is a safe haven where you can explore the intricacies of your life, knowing that I am dedicated to supporting you every step of the way.
In my practice, I specialize in helping adults overcome depression, anxiety, attachment and relationship concerns, address family of origin issues, navigate life transitions, and achieve academic and career satisfaction. Through personalized strategies, I help you acquire insight, develop essential skills, and create lasting change in your life.
Take the first steps by scheduling a free 15-minute consultation on my website or by reaching out to me directly via phone or email. Together, we can foster meaningful connections, enhance your well-being, and build the fulfilling life you deserve. Current weekly availability on Tuesdays.
