Great to meet you!

I provide compassionate, evidence based psychiatric care with collaborative approach. My goal is to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and supported.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I take patient - centered approach by exploring emotional and psychological aspect of health. I listen deeply and aim to build a trusting relationship where patients feels safe to share their story. Together, we create a treatment plan that is personalized and grounded in evidenced based care.

What you can expect from our first session

I want the patients to leave the sessions feeling heard, supported, and empowered in their journey. And, work towards understanding what is contributing to their stress, and develop strategies to help them cope, heal, and grow.
