Introduction

People I work with often come to me feeling stuck— second-guessing every decision, replaying conversations in their heads, or feeling like they’ve lost touch with the version of themselves they want to be. Sometimes it’s a big life change. Sometimes it’s a quiet, constant heaviness. Sometimes it’s the grief of losing someone—human or animal—who meant everything. My style is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that connection is one of the most powerful tools for healing. Therapy works best when it feels human. I help people: *Find their voice *Challenge the relentless inner critic *Take steps toward a life that feels more like their own As a daughter of an immigrant, I understand how culture, identity, and lived experience shape our stories and how we navigate the world. Each person I work with expands my understanding of what it means to be human. Together, we will create a space for growth and learning—one that holds your pain and fear as well as joy and the laughter that makes healing just a little lighter. This space also embraces the deep connection between people and animals. Whether we’re evaluating if an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) is right for you, or navigating the heartbreak of losing a beloved companion, these relationships deserve to be seen, supported, and honored. *I am pursuing a post-master's program in Veterinary Social Work to deepen my ability to support clients and the unique ways animals shape our emotional lives.*
