Great to meet you!

I am a bilingual, first-generation immigrant interested in diversity issues such as oppression, discrimination, and generational cultural challenges. I enjoy helping cross-culture individuals understand the stigma within communities when seeking mental health services.

My approach to therapy

I am honored to help individuals from different backgrounds unwrap and comprehend what causes the mind and body to be distressed. Once you can differentiate the trigger from reality as an event in time, you can begin to shift from crisis to safety - and find peace.

People who have experienced a traumatic event often experience difficulty with daily activities and personal interactions. You can learn how to manage your life and the challenges you face by applying the skills you learn in therapy. Together, we will move through the layers of pain, trauma, and discomfort you experience while providing a safe environment without judgment.

What you can expect from me

I understand that some cultures direct people to ignore how they feel, or tell people they should feel differently because some people have it worse than them. But how you feel is very important, and you deserve the resources and opportunity to live a happier and more fulfilling life.
