I believe that therapy is about guiding people to connect with themselves so they can connect with others and the world; Therapy is about holding a space for people to feel the emotions that they felt so scared to feel by themselves, and to explore ways to "swim with their own sharks" with a companion. It’s not about me as a therapist making the most insightful comments, or giving the “best” solutions. It’s about holding a space for people who are in the room, and be with them when they are confused, sad, angry, hopeless, and still hold a compassionate and faithful space for them to find their own answers. So, if you are looking for direct advice giving or life coaching, we may not be a good fit. But if you are interested in connecting with yourself and the world in a deeper way, and exploring your own answers, I am here to be with you.

I believe everyone has the potential to achieve their life goals. Therapy is a journey where we explore your inner world, recognize your power from within, and embrace your true self. We are companions in this journey. Together, we will work to overcome barriers to your ideal future. I integrate Person-Centered Counseling, Gestalt therapy, Narrative psychotherapy, Existential theories, and relational approaches to support your growth.
