You may feel like you don’t necessarily “fit-in” or that others do not understand you. Maybe you’re not feeling supported, seen or heard by others. You could be feeling alone, frustrated or hurt. Perhaps you’ve been putting others’ needs first and allowing no space for yourself. This could lead to burnout, frustration or even depression. You deserve to have someone listen to you, someone to talk to who is not judging you, your feelings or your situation. You can make space and time for yourself.

I have always been drawn to helping people since I was a very young age. I know what it is like to be ripped from your everyday reality and fumbling to figure out what is the next best step forward. ​​I understand how upsetting it can feel not to see ourselves represented or recognized in the world. I know how frustrating it can be living in a cultural limbo, balancing between high expectations and the fear of disappointment.

My experience of working in crisis counseling for sexual assault survivors taught me how a gentle approach in stressful situations helps us open up and explore our true feelings. I became a therapist to help people, specifically minorities. I provide a calm and caring presence and strongly encourage people to have patience with themselves. I am dedicated to creating a healing space through a culturally sensitive lens and providing reliable, resourceful, supportive care where we can explore our unique experiences, perspectives, and obstacles.

I understand how difficult it is to know feel like yourself. You are not alone. I am here to support you no matter what you are coping with. Let’s work through things together.
