About
“I accompany my clients on the path of searching for happiness, meaning, and love. “
Why I became a therapist
I became a therapist to make a positive impact on others' lives. Every day, I meet people curious about this work—whether it's my manicurist, a barista, or someone on the subway. These conversations inspire me to continue learning and helping people improve their mental health and overall well-being.
Who I work with
I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relational difficulties. I am passionate about working with those who have difficulties with or are internally troubled by interpersonal interactions. Moreover, I love working with people with relationship difficulties and discussing all aspects of relationships, including communication, attachments, and sexual satisfaction. I am also enthusiastic about working with immigrants and international populations, helping them with identity issues. Lastly, I enjoy working with and empowering female-identified populations, LGBTQ+, and BIPOC populations..
“I emphasize empowerment for marginalized populations, as I aspire to amplify the voices of my clients and help them navigate the often-oppressive society at their own will.”
Working With Me
In therapy, I provide a non-judgemental and welcoming space, in which my clients feel safe to share anything they want. I emphasize empowerment and I aspire to amplify my clients' voices to help them navigate an often confusing and oppressive society. I use relational and psychodynamic theories and interventions, in which I encourage the exploration of patterns and interactions with others, where these patterns come from, and how to change these patterns if they are no longer serving you. I also adopt aspects of existential therapy, encouraging and accompanying clients on the path of searching for love, meaning, and happiness.
