Great to meet you!

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or trying to find your way through life’s challenges, I offer a supportive and practical space to help you move forward. With over 19 years of experience in counseling, I work with individuals and families facing a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and life transitions.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in helping clients manage the impact of mental health conditions while building confidence, stability, and direction. I have extensive experience in career counseling, supporting clients who want to return to work, change paths, or pursue education while navigating personal challenges.

My approach is grounded in humanistic psychology— focusing on understanding you as a whole person, not just your symptoms. Sessions are collaborative, respectful, and tailored to your unique goals, whether that’s improving emotional regulation, strengthening relationships, or gaining clarity about your future. As someone with an international background, I am especially attuned to the experiences of individuals and families from diverse and immigrant communities. I strive to provide culturally sensitive care and understand the complexities of balancing identity, family expectations, and life in a new environment.

What you can expect from me

Clients who work with me can expect a therapist who is compassionate, experienced, and focused on real-life outcomes—helping you not only cope but build a more fulfilling and stable life.
