More about my approach to therapy:

What can I expect?

Because we all have unique histories, family and community values, strengths, and likes and dislikes, having a flexible, direct, and compassionate approach to mental well-being is critical to a successful psychotherapy experience.

Expect humor, compassion, lively and provoking conversation, active engagement, and gentle confrontation and directness, without the judgment or fear of persecution and shame.

This is not a one-size-fits-all approach.

This process emphasizes personal insight, perspective growth, and relationship EQ.

If you don't know what any of that means, that's fine! We'll start from where you're at.

Who is this for?

Teens & adults struggling with issues related to:

Dating
Relationship challenges
Living with ADHD
Anxiety related to dating
Anxiety related to multicultural family stress
Anxiety related to codependency patterns
Burnout from overwork
Moral injury and recovery
Psychedelic exploration, & integration
Chronic people-pleasing

Why therapy?

Because you appreciate and want the space for reflection and thought
Because friends or family have said you you might benefit
Because you have a lot to say, but nowhere to say it where you won't be judged
Because you prioritize your mental health
Because you want to better understand yourself and why you do what you do
