Do intense emotions come out of nowhere and hit you like a ton of bricks? Do you have trouble identifying and understanding what you're feeling? Do you speak or act without thinking?

Maybe it feels like no one understands you, or you can't find the type of relationships you want, or you have trouble communicating clearly – maybe all of the above. You wonder whether things are ever going to change. You’re overwhelmed, you're struggling to manage it all, and you're stuck.

In my counseling practice, I prioritize creating a safe, empathic, and non-judgmental space for healing.

I blend this with evidence-based Western practices to comprehensively support my clients. This integration leads to mental wellness and growth.
