Great to meet you!

I’m a seasoned therapist with over 20 years of experience helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges with compassion, insight, and cultural understanding. As a bilingual and bicultural clinician, I offer a culturally sensitive approach to therapy that helps clients feel truly seen, heard, and understood.

I understand that cultural experiences shape how we view ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where clients can openly explore their experiences, process emotional challenges, and develop healthier patterns that align with their values and personal goals.

My approach to therapy

I earned my Bachelor’s degree from Northeastern University and my Master’s degree from Adler School of Professional Psychology, where I specialized in psychology and relational therapy. Throughout my career, I have worked with clients from diverse cultural, ethnic, and social backgrounds, helping them navigate identity, family expectations, relationship dynamics, immigration experiences, generational differences, and the unique stressors that can arise from balancing multiple cultures.

What you can expect from me

I specialize in individual and couples therapy, using evidence-based approaches tailored to each client’s unique needs. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, life transitions, burnout, or challenges connected to cultural identity and belonging, I work collaboratively with you to foster healing, clarity, and emotional growth.

In addition to my clinical work, I’m passionate about promoting mental health awareness and reducing stigma within diverse communities through outreach and education.
