Therapists in Lakemont, Raleigh, NC

Clients interested in mindfulness, who are curious about deepening their current experience, their body, their relationships, and their spirituality, and who are ambitious and have big dreams for themselves but feel too overwhelmed to follow through or too worried to step outside the norm to live life on their terms. I also enjoy working with clients who want to examine how they do relationships closely. I love working with women across the lifespan: young women entering adulthood.

I value the mind-body connection and believe we can find healing when we approach our health from a holistic perspective. Counseling requires a lot of effort and can only be truly transformative if you show up as yourself. I will show up as mine and that may include laughing, maybe some crying, and definitely some hard conversations. I am passionate about helping people adjust to parenting or other life transitions, and those with anxiety and self-esteem issues. My role is to listen, ask questions, guide, and challenge you to shape your own path. Let's dig in!

In our work together, I will use my expertise to help you identify unhelpful thought and behavioral patterns keeping you stuck, and together, we'll work to modify these.

There are times in life where we all feel exposed, vulnerable, and unsure. Life can seem scary, frustrating, hopeless, and chaotic. We forget who we are or admit we don't know where we are going. Life experiences and our mindset can stop us from living. There are times when emotions run the show and lead to choices that make things worse.

If you are struggling with relationships, depression, anxiety, or low self-esteem, I believe I am the right therapist for you. If you are experiencing challenges because of trauma, abuse, or difficult life transitions, I can help you heal. I offer a unique blend of non-judgmental listening, creativity, and genuineness. I will work collaboratively with you to help you develop self-awareness, confidence, and healthier ways to handle the challenges you are facing. I provide adult, family, and adolescent therapy.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by worried thoughts, leading to constant stress and tension? Do you doubt your self-worth or feel inadequate in your relationships? Anxiety can feel like a heavy weight on your shoulders, making everyday tasks seem daunting and exhausting. Sometimes anxiety leaves us feeling unsure about how to move forward. Other times, it shows up as tension in our most cherished relationships, causing us to question our connections and communication. If you are experiencing anxiety or feeling overwhelmed by difficulties in your relationship, you are not alone.

I work compassionately with individuals across the life span to identify and solve problems.

Therapy can sometimes be intimidating, but I will work with you to provide the non-judgmental, safe space needed to aid you on your self-discovery and mental health journey.

If you are looking for someone who will join with you as you find your way through to a more meaningful way of living and toward more fulfilling relationships, then I welcome you to contact me for a free consultation.

I’ll be honest with you, change can be challenging, but you and I both know that if nothing changes, nothing changes. Maybe you’re ready to make a change, but you just don’t know where to begin.

As a second-generation immigrant with a bicultural identity, I am keenly aware that conversations about mental health concerns can feel confusing. Navigating the intersections of our identities, values, relationships and experiences can feel like we are constantly pulled in many different directions and struggle to feel at peace. This can negatively impact our self-esteem, self-confidence and how well we are able to be present in the different areas of our lives. My passion is to inspire curiosity about oneself and revive the path of intentional and heartful living.
