I am currently accepting new clients.
I offer both in-person and virtual sessions.
Growing up, it came naturally to me to create a warm and inviting space for others. I found myself exposed to people of all ages, various cultural backgrounds, and values while also appreciating and learning as much as I could. It was within my existential dread of feeling stuck, isolated, and indecisive that I realized I wanted something different for the rest of my life. I realized there was more to life, there was more than acting like everything was okay but there lay a void to be filled. Instead of filling it with mundane and short-lasting thrills, I found philosophy, spirituality and finally, psychology. Through my journey of self-discovery, self-help, and self-reflection I was renewed in every aspect. My passion and my mission aligned and I knew my purpose was in assisting other people in their journey to feel and know how good life can be. I thought to myself: I want other people to live in their highest version; a privilege that I hope to be a part of.
