Great to meet you!

As a therapist rooted in Buddhist principles, my approach respects the innate wisdom each individual possesses. I believe clients are their own best experts in healing, and my role is to support them in uncovering their truths and navigating their journeys toward healing and self-discovery.

I hold a Master's in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness from New York University, which has enriched my understanding and practice of therapeutic techniques. I strive to create a safe, compassionate space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment. Within this sanctuary, we work collaboratively to shift perspectives, fostering greater happiness and joy.

Ultimately, my deepest aspiration as a therapist is to facilitate a healing environment where individuals feel seen, heard, and valued.

My approach to therapy

In my practice, I integrate mindfulness-based techniques encouraging clients to cultivate deeper awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and present experiences. By guiding them to observe these without attachment or aversion, clients begin to understand the nature of their suffering and the transient nature of emotions. This awareness catalyzes transformation, enabling individuals to step back from struggles and see them differently. In this shift, healing often begins.

What you can expect from me

I view therapy as a journey-a partnership between therapist and client-where mutual exploration leads to insights and growth. Each client presents a unique narrative shaped by experiences, beliefs, and aspirations. I honor these stories, helping clients unearth patterns, challenge limiting beliefs, and embrace their full humanity. Through this process, I aim to empower them to find greater meaning, envision new possibilities, and cultivate resilience in adversity.
