About
You want to feel seen and actually understood by the people in your life…and maybe even by yourself. You’ve tried to keep the peace, explain where you’re coming from, or make things work, but it still feels like no one really gets it. Communication breaks down, or differences in culture, values, or personality make it harder than it should be. You might feel stuck, shut down, or just exhausted from doing the emotional heavy lifting alone. You don’t have to carry that by yourself anymore. I work with individuals and couples, focusing on multicultural and interracial experiences. Many clients come from diverse or blended backgrounds, but what matters most is your desire to feel grounded, heard, and at ease in your own skin. I’m direct, collaborative, and bring humor and compassion, because therapy doesn’t have to be heavy to be healing. Together, we’ll explore how your story, identity, and life experiences shape the way you show up in relationships and with yourself. We’ll look at patterns that aren’t serving you anymore and build something new, more balance, clarity, and confidence. My goal is for you to leave therapy feeling more like yourself, not less! Specialties: I specialize in work with clients navigating interracial or intercultural relationships and those wanting to explore their unique identity. Together, we explore cultural and relational differences and collaborate on strategies to build connection and confidence. Most clients notice greater clarity, connection, and self-understanding early in therapy. Credentials & Experience: With a PhD in Couple and Family Therapy and over 7 years of client experience, I've committed myself to becoming the most genuine and thorough relational therapist I can be, always aiming to support and understand my clients better.
