“Shame dies when stories are told in a safe environment”. I believe that building a safe and genuine relationship with clients is essential in facilitating healing. Relating to others in an empathetic and genuine way has always been my nature, and I bring this to my counseling sessions. I believe that when we help our clients recognize their own strength and resiliency,  they discover a new potential within themselves. 


The struggles in my own life led me to the journey of healing, eventually finding my passion in guiding those who are hurting or lost.  I work with clients of diverse ages, identities, and backgrounds, as well as a broad range of challenges. In addition to helping clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and grief,  I have helped clients in a domestic violence shelter work through their trauma of abuse, veterans struggling with their Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and college students navigating through their career choices and relationships.  No two persons' journeys are the same. We can discover the uniqueness and deeper meaning in your journey together. 


I feel a special connection working with clients who identify as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). As someone who considers themselves highly sensitive, and has a highly sensitive spouse, I am excited to use my knowledge and experience to help my HSP clients. In my sessions, I help them work through struggles that are often being overlooked or misunderstood. My mission is to help fellow HSPs understand how to care for the unique needs and navigate challenges that come along with sensitivity, while also embracing the beauty and strengths that come with it. 


I also specialize in working with people who suffer from low self-esteem, attachment issues, or who have experienced childhood trauma. I find facilitating inner child work to be an effective and rewarding way to work through those struggles. 


I love helping clients who experience acculturation issues, spiritual issues, relationship issues, and who want to explore their identities. I believe the goal of counseling is not just to heal the mental health issues clients experience, but also to develop self-awareness, step into self-empowerment, and achieve one’s full potential.


I use a Gestalt therapy approach to help you connect with your authentic self, and I frequently incorporate bodywork, and mindfulness in sessions. Clients usually describe my counseling style as empathetic, warm, gentle, and intuitive. I am also trained in EMDR therapy, dreamwork therapy, Focusing by Eugene Gendlin, and sand play therapy. It would be an honor to have an opportunity to work with you.
