My practice is inclusive and welcoming of all ethnicities, nationalities, and gender identities. Whether you’re seeking therapy for yourself or someone you care about, I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about whatever is troubling you—whether it’s a current situation or something from your past.
