Great to meet you!

I am a highly skilled and compassionate therapist specializing in relationship conflict, anxiety, identity conflicts, and managing intercultural differences as a person of color. With over 15 years of experience in the field, I have helped numerous individuals and families overcome challenges, heal emotional wounds, and build healthy relationships. I specialize in working with members of the AAPI community; individuals in STEM fields; and individuals wishing to find better overall balance.

My approach to therapy

I believe in an integrative and client-centered approach to therapy. I tailor my interventions to my clients by listening to understand the issue while also getting a broader understanding of you as a whole person. I provide tangible and concrete tools for clients to utilize in your day-to-day life. I utilize the following modalities in my therapeutic sessions:

  • Interpersonal Therapy
  • Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
  • Psychodynamic Therapy

What you can expect from me

I am dedicated to creating a safe environment for personal growth and positive change. I work best with individuals willing to be gently challenged and are comfortable with direct but supportive feedback. I act as a confidential advisor who has a shared vision of who you wish to be and where you wish to get to, providing a guiding roadmap while allowing you to remain fully in control. I create a non-judgmental and inclusive space where all clients feel respected, heard, and understood.
