My Story
I believe lived experience and diversity are crucial in the world of therapy. I know what it is like to be on the other side, to be afraid to start therapy, but to know that support and strategies are needed. I come from a family of immigrants and I grew up in a multiracial and multi-faith home. I have lived experience of anxiety, narcissistic abuse, and chronic pain. I began seeking therapy as a teenager and it helped me by providing a safe space to talk and gain helpful tools. Through the strategies and support I received, I was able to work through my struggles and gain a passion in supporting others. Mental health has always been so stigmatized, but therapy showed me that it does not have to be and that I am not alone in my experiences. Through this, I had a goal to create inclusive spaces where people recognize that they are not alone, that we all need support, and that mental health is equally as important as physical health.
This journey led me to obtaining education in both the mental health field and in social justice related fields as I believe the two go hand in hand, and later to working in mental health fields in University and youth settings. My work, education, and lived experience led me to starting this practice, with aims to help those from all walks of life. I understand how difficult starting therapy can be, and I hope to make the process accessible, understanding, and gentle.
