About My Clients

Hey there fellow human being, life is hard, isn't it? Sometimes it's cruel and unfair. Especially when the world wasn't designed for you. Rather, society, culture, and authority tries to fit us into their rigid boxes so we can be normal (whatever that means) according to their worldview. That's a pretty depressing and lonely way to exist. Fortunately, you're not alone. I know firsthand what it's like to exist in the margins, constantly feeling like an outsider.

My Background and Approach

Whereas most areas of our lives involve masking who we are to survive, I believe therapy offers a chance to heal by having a space to be yourself. Therapy isn't like seeing your doctor. It's more of an art that involves building a relationship rather than providing a service to fix an issue. Our goal is to have a conversation and focus on the process of what you bring to session rather than applying a certain approach to produce outcomes. That's where change can happen. Finding the right therapist matters because sometimes you vibe with people and sometimes you don't. Generally, I work best with creatives (e.g. artists, writers, musicians), marginalized identities (BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, ND), and young adults (Millennials, Gen Z). Pretty much if you've found yourself "othered" throughout your life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Life is hard, complicated, and inevitably filled with pain and suffering. My hope is to guide you to be better able to navigate and cope with life challenges. If you feel you're lacking the places or people in your life where you can be yourself, therapy can provide that space where you can share your story, feel supported, and most importantly be seen for who you are.
