Therapy is an incredibly courageous act, requiring us to confront the parts of ourselves we may not like. It is also an act of self-love, demonstrating a commitment to your own happiness and well-being, and by extension, to the relationships around you. I believe that self-awareness and reflection are among the greatest gifts you can give to yourself and to those you care about. With a deep commitment to my own personal growth and journey towards self-actualization, I am equally dedicated to supporting you on your path to healing. To read more about me click Here

My decision to pursue a career in psychology and become a therapist was a natural progression of my personal experiences and passion for assisting others going through hardship. Having developed a healthy collection of self-help resources during my teenage years, I found myself drawn to the field of psychology. After completing my introductory psychology course in college, I developed a strong interest in pursuing a professional career in the field of psychology. This interest subsequently evolved into a passionate commitment for sharing the significance of therapy as a transformative tool for self-discovery, healing, and personal growth. To read more about me click Here

I became intrigued with people's emotions, the way they thought and behaved, and I was always interested in helping others.

I have had immense joy working with all types of individuals, children and families.

Ever since I was in middle school I knew I wanted to be a therapist. All of my friends who were seeking support or solutions would come to me with their problems. I found this to be my calling as I genuinely enjoyed actively listening, providing empathy, and offering different perspectives for my loved ones. As a therapist, it is my intention to make the therapeutic process as comfortable as possible. I understand that coming to therapy can be difficult, but it’s also a huge step in someone’s healing journey, and that deserves to be celebrated! I want to provide a safe space and build trusting relationships with my clients so that they feel confident in doing the work to accomplish their goals. To read more about me click Here

 My interest in psychology started when I was in high school when I started to become aware of the importance of mental health in both myself and those around me. Mental health was never talked about in my community due to cultural stigmas surrounding it. My goal as a therapist is to help give your struggles a voice and to support you through your journey, especially in times when we may feel alone. I hope to foster a safe, nonjudgemental space for you to express yourself and to feel seen and heard.  To read more about me click Here.

From a young age, my passion for understanding human connection was clear. With the age-old debate of nature vs. nurture in mind, my curiosities deepened while exploring the connection between genetics and early childhood experiences within the context of society and environment as primary influences. As a therapist my goal is to provide a safe space for processing all of life’s challenges. Figuratively speaking, the daily masks we wear can be exhausting. Despite how alone we may feel during these times, I am here to remind you that support is always available. To read more bout me click Here
