About My Clients

Have you ever felt like there needs to be a guidebook on how to navigate work, school, relationships, AND trying to keep your plants alive, all while swimming in the unpredictable currents that are your 20s and 30s? If you are experiencing overwhelming emotions, self-doubt, trauma, interpersonal difficulties, or a general sense of being stuck in negative patterns, come join me.

My Background and Approach

I became a therapist because I believe in the power of healing and growth. I understand how it feels to be overwhelmed, lost, and unsure of where to turn. But I also know the incredible strength that lies within each individual. My mission is to guide you on a journey of self-discovery, providing unwavering support, empathy, and understanding. Together, we will explore the depths of your experiences, unraveling the layers of pain and unlocking your inner resilience. I want to empower you to break free from the grip of anxiety, depression, trauma, or attachment issues and find a renewed sense of purpose, joy, and authenticity. You deserve a life filled with happiness, and I am here to help you navigate the path toward lasting transformation.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a therapist, I believe in the inherent worth and potential for growth within every individual. I am deeply committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental, and inclusive space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of stigma or discrimination. I am extremely passionate about mental health advocacy and destigmatizing conversations around mental well-being and psychedelics. For the past two years, I have been actively engaged in raising awareness about psychedelics psychotherapy by becoming a leader of the Psychedelic Caucus on Columbia's campus and interning at the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies. I firmly believe that everyone deserves access to this modality, as well as quality mental health care and support as a whole, regardless of their background or circumstances.
