My story is one of cultural multiplicity and intersectionality. I'm looking forward to hearing about your story and what really matters to you. When we work together, we do so in a space where it is safe to be fully heard and seen. In therapy, no one should feel like they don't belong. I'm really excited to offer my compassion and curiosity in service of moving you towards a life of meaning.
