Many communities keep their history alive by way of storytelling traditions - from riddles and proverbs, to legends and superstitions. They give way to experiences and lessons in growing up, loving, learning, and pain… so that others may know they are not alone and can heal.

And what about your story?

I strongly feel that therapy is a way of honoring your struggles, achievements, and dreams. All the while, exploring what is working for you and what you have agency to evolve.

Therapy shouldn't be intimidating. You can expect me to be warm, compassionate, honest, humorous and insightful. I will also be challenging you at times, since therapy is about collaborative work to get you where you need to go in a skillful and fruitful way. I combine traditional talk psychotherapy with creative expression to get us there. I also enjoy educating, using meditation and mind-body exercises, pop cultural references, and an occasional take home assignment to help further your self-exploration.

Topics I support clients managing include mood disorders (depression and Bipolar), anxiety, stress management, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ issues, and workplace or academic satisfaction.
