About My Clients

Therapy can be a powerful medium to help you delve into the deep, inner work that is required when you are stuck in the past and struggling to thrive in the present. This feeling of “stuckness” can happen for many of reasons: trauma, depression, anxiety & more. I believe that real change comes from exploring our deep inner selves & patterns that we’ve picked up early in our lives. Through this, we’ll navigate the process of healing and working towards emotional, mental, and spiritual wellness.

My Background and Approach

I specialize in inner-child and trauma work. I believe that real change comes from exploring our deep inner selves and the painful experiences that may have happened in our early lives that we continue to carry into our present. Through this, we’ll explore what’s at the core, begin to develop an understanding and awareness & work towards empowerment.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Living in a perpetual state of disconnectedness and being on auto-pilot for too long led me on a journey of self-inquiry. For as long as I could remember, I was experiencing constant brain fog, dissociative episodes, angry outbursts and simply unable to emotionally connect with anyone around me. I felt so alone living within myself and all I knew were the walls that I built around me. What appeared as “hitting rock bottom” turned out to be my catalyst for self-healing and transformation. I soon discovered that healing was possible, which I was only able to access by facing myself and all the pain that I was hiding from. And it was during my own journey of healing that I learned the joy of accompanying others on their paths to wholeness.
