When Therapy Chose Me
I often say: I didn't choose counseling—counseling chose me. Psychology called to me long before I realized I'd become a therapist. I started studying sociology because others expected it, but I felt a stronger pull toward understanding human behavior.
"If you don't make the unconscious conscious, it will control you, and you will keep calling it fate."

Why "Embracing Therapy"?
The name carries three meanings, each reflecting my approach to healing.
To embrace therapy
Normalizing the act of seeking support, stripping away shame and silence.
To be embraced by therapy
Experiencing therapy as warm, human and healing, rather than clinical and detached.
Embracing redirection
Meeting life's pain differently instead of avoiding it.

The person behind the practice
My Personal Passions
Nature & Movement
You'll often find me on a trail, hiking or cycling, letting fresh air and green spaces reset my mind.
Cooking & Exploration
Experimenting with new recipes reminds me that creativity can be healing—food nourishes both body and spirit.
Reading Fiction
A good novel offers portals into other worlds and perspectives.
Family & Community
I cherish time with my nieces and nephews—their honest joy and boundless hugs remind me how simple and authentic life can be.
Community Work
I previously worked at a nonprofit in an informal settlement, designing mental health programs for children. That experience taught me how vital early support is—and how resilient the human spirit can be, even in challenging circumstances.
My Vision & Invitation
"You have all the power and the tools within you. I'm here to help facilitate the process. You take the wheel; I guide you."
When you land on this page, I hope you feel both reassured and encouraged. Yes, I'm imperfect—just like you. But imperfection hasn't stopped me from building a life aligned with my values.
