I became a counselor because I've seen what happens when people don't have the right support.
There was a point where I knew something needed to change in my own life. I didn't have full clarity on what or why. That experience of sitting with uncertainty and actually doing the work to understand it is part of what brought me to this field.
Over the years I've worked with high school students, adults, and couples navigating stress, identity, relationships, and transitions that can feel hard to explain to anyone else. What I keep seeing is that most people don't need to be fixed. They need space to understand what's happening and a way forward that actually fits their life.

"You don't need to have it all figured out. Most people don't. You just need a place where you can be honest about what's actually going on."
Present. Warm. At your pace.
I'm engaged in the process with you. I'll share what I'm noticing, ask honest questions, and help you look at things from angles that might be hard to see on your own. Some sessions are focused and practical. Others are more open. We go where you need to go that day.
I have specific experience working with people navigating cultural identity, the pressure of living between different worlds, and experiences of discrimination and bias that don't always get named in therapy. Those experiences shape everything. How you relate to others, how you see yourself, what you're carrying. That's worth naming and working through, not sidestepping.

Solution-Focused
