I believe that in this huge world, each of us carries a whole inner world of our own, one where we navigate our own stories, pain, joy, love, and struggle. That journey is almost always filled with loneliness, helplessness, and confusion. This is why I believe therapy can be the most beautiful companion a person can have in building their world and living their story all the way through. 
 
In the therapy room, I hope to create a space with you that holds safety, trust, and a sense of aliveness, one where you have enough room to explore your most honest self, to work through a feeling or a pattern, to explore everything behind an experience, or a pattern of experiences, and to move slowly in the direction you want to go. I will enter your world with sincere curiosity, seeking to understand your feelings, your behaviors, and the ways you think, as well as your values, your cultural background, and your identity, helping you arrive at a fuller and clearer sense of who you are. I work from trauma-informed and person-centered approaches, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and somatic methods, with deep respect for all of your life story and wherever you come from. 
 
I have experience as a trained dancer and actress. These experiences deepened my awareness of the mind-body connection and sharpened the kind of attentiveness I bring to understanding and being with another person. I hold a bachelor's degree in sociology with research in trauma and women's studies, and I am currently pursuing my Master's in Mental Health Counseling at New York University. These different threads in my background allow me to hold both a broader perspective and a close, careful attention to each individual, adapting my approach to what each person actually needs. I have lived experience across multiple cultures and practice with a commitment to cultural humility, with particular dedication to serving immigrant communities, cross-cultural individuals, and people from marginalized backgrounds. 
 
Outside the therapy room, I love dance, travel, film, theater, and a good spa day. I have a deep and particular love for the ocean and for whales. They are constant sources of healing and energy for me.
