“I wanted to travel, write, and make a difference, but that was all pushed aside as I pursued the path that society had laid out for me. In doing so, I had lost sight of the person I always dreamed of becoming. Now, I live for my 17-year-old self.”

“As a daughter of immigrants, I spent a large portion of my life trying to blend in. I felt ashamed of my roots. I wear this necklace to remind me of those who came before me, drawing strength from their struggles. Everything I do, I do for them.”

A therapeutic approach that’s tailored for you.

  • Individual therapy is a deeply personal and transformative process that enables self-discovery, healing, and growth. The environment created is conducive to increasing self exploration, reflection, and awareness. You can attain a thorough understanding of the optimal course of action to take to address your presenting concerns and achieve positive change. Through individual therapy, you can take an active approach in appropriately addressing undesirable symptoms and/or consequences associated with your presenting concerns. You will be exposed to a wide range of tools and techniques to feel more in control of internal stressors (e.g., anxiety, depression, negative self-talk, low self-esteem, unresolved emotions, etc) and external stressors (e.g., professional obligations and responsibilities, relationship problems, major life changes and transitions, unrealistic societal and/or cultural expectations, etc). Individual therapy can help you determine your values, priorities and goals, allowing you to develop a greater sense of purpose and meaning in your life. This newfound sense of direction can lead to more informed decision-making and an enhanced level of confidence in your choices. Individual therapy cultivates self-compassion and self-acceptance, helping you embrace your authentic self and conquering challenges with resilience and grace. You will build a positive self-image as you uncover your strengths and inner resources. By addressing underlying issues and working towards personal goals, individuals often experience increased well-being, satisfaction and fulfillment.
