  • In-Person Sessions
  • Teletherapy/Virtual Sessions

Welcome. It can be challenging to find the next best step in overcoming emotional pain. If you are looking for a nonjudgmental therapist and struggling with the following challenges, let’s talk!

  • Panic attacks, Health anxiety, and other forms of anxiety that take you out of the present.
  • Trauma that is negatively impacting your day-to-day life. Especially if the trauma is complicated or started with something another person did to you.
  • Burnout, frustration, and irritability that are stealing your joy.
  • You have co-occurring medical issues that are negatively impacting your mental health. This can include things like chronic pain, a chronic illness, or a new scary diagnosis.
  • You are trying to balance being true to yourself while making sense of the complexities of multiple cultural identities.

How I approach therapy

My therapeutic style is warm, caring, realistic, and has more than a touch of humor. Therapy is a collaborative journey. We will combine your expertise in your life experiences with my expertise in mental health and wellbeing. I start with a person-centered approach so that you can feel safe, valued, and validated while sharing your personal experiences and struggles. I also use trauma-informed care, cognitive-behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused approaches, and dialectical behavioral therapy.

If you’re ready to embark on this journey of self-discovery and healing, I’m here to walk alongside you. Let’s find your best way forward together.

Reach out to me by phone or message if you would like to find a time to connect.

And in case you’re curious, here’s a little about me.

Experience highlights

I have been a licensed mental health counselor for over a decade. During that time, I have pursued training and gained experience supporting people seeking healing from trauma, anxiety, panic attacks, interpersonal violence, child abuse, mood disorders, and medical issues that impact mental health.

Cultural identities

I am the daughter and granddaughter of immigrants and identify as she/her. I am also Canadian-American. As you can imagine, this all impacts how I see the world and the weird questions I ask people about people their own cultural identities.

For fun

I love the arts. They give me a window into other cultures and backgrounds in a way that words can’t always express. I enjoy laughing and sometimes use my sense of humor to find the silliness in a bad day. I’m also a great fan of being outside. I believe in the healing and rejuvenating powers of the outdoors, green spaces, and water.
