Therapy isn’t about fixing you…it’s about creating a space where you don’t have to hold everything alone 🫴🏼❤️‍🩹🤲🏼

This room is where that happens for my clients, week after week. I’m so honored to be able to do this work ❤️

Hey everyone 👋🏼

Thank you for following and being part of this growing space. My goal here is to share insights that help you better understand yourself, your relationships, and the healing and transformation process in ways that feel both practical and human.

I’d love to hear from you:
🧠 What psychology or mental health topics are you most curious about?
💬 Have you seen something on social media or talked about with friends or family that you’d like to understand more deeply?

Your feedback not only shapes what I share here, but also helps me build a deeper understanding of what matters most within our community which, in turn, enriches my work with clients.

I’m always happy to do the research and open up conversations with colleagues so we can explore these topics together. Drop your thoughts below ⬇️

You can also follow me on Instagram for more mental health content and reflections:

Are you ready for change? 🔄

Connection is the root of healing: within, between, and beyond.

That’s the heart of my work at Thrive Family Therapy: Helping clients rediscover who they are and to feel empowered to grow. 🌱

Therapy should be accessible, not out of reach. I’ve recently lowered my session fees to make quality care more affordable, with rates now below the average for private practice in the Bay Area. A limited number of sliding-scale spots are also available for those on a tighter budget. If you’ve been thinking about starting therapy, this may be the right time to begin. 🙌🏼

Curious if we might be a good fit? Let’s connect for a free phone consultation. No pressure, just conversation. 💬
