I work with neurodivergent and LGBTQIA2S+ adults and young adults, including caregivers, women living with chronic illness, and anyone carrying the long shadow of growing up in dysfunction. The weird ones, the quiet ones, the ones who never quite fit, those are exactly the people who deserve the most thoughtful, genuine care.
I understand, through my own lived experience, the need to be heard and have your pain validated.
I also understand the complexities of being a caregiver, single mom, and a fish out of water – as well as how hard it is to be a woman and an immigrant in this oppressive society.
Like the phoenix, I have risen from the ashes many times, and I come back fierier each time.
I can help you do the same.
I provide trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, inclusive therapy, and I never judge my clients. Our pasts may have shaped us, but they don’t define us.
My sessions aren’t cold and clinical. We can talk about heavy things and still inject humor and fun into our sessions.
Last but not least, I am a social worker, through and through. I believe we need to look at issues holistically, understanding all the factors that impact your mental health.
While we’ll always address the bigger picture, your individuality and self-expression are important, too. You deserve to be heard, and you deserve to help guide your own treatment.
