I believe everyone deserves inner peace—let’s find it together. I take a psychodynamic approach, helping clients look inward to uncover what may be holding them back. While introspection can be uncomfortable, it’s essential for understanding current struggles and shifting unhelpful patterns. I also draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy and a relational lens to explore how you show up in relationships. My work is grounded in multicultural awareness and a nonjudgmental, authentic space for growth and self-discovery. I welcome anyone ready to make meaningful change.
