In my practice, I emphasize nurturing over shame, guiding my clients away from unhealthy beliefs given to us by family, culture, and society, and towards a path of self-compassion and empowerment. Using metaphors, life lessons, as well as lots of humor, I try to teach my clients how to be their own therapist.
My Approach

I'm not your average counselor—I'm a mental health game-changer! I have always loved games and what they teach us about cooperation, persistence and how to learn from our mistakes. I'm all about leveling up coping skills through gaming strategies, finding inspiration in the epic narratives in anime, or simply talking about our favorite medias, let's dive into what makes you, you.

My Philosophy
At Underdog Counseling, I believe that everyone has the ability to lead a happy and fulfilling life. My philosophy is rooted in the belief that mental and emotional well-being is essential to our health, and that therapy can be a powerful tool for achieving this balance. My goal is to help my clients become their own counselors, because no one knows you better than yourself.
