Great to meet you!

I am a bicultural therapist who is passionate about supporting individuals through life’s most challenging moments, including chronic illness, caregiving, and complex grief. I have experience working with young adults, particularly first-generation students, as well as immigrant families navigating the stress of cultural adjustment, intergenerational dynamics, and identity exploration.

I am an LGBTQI+ affirming, anti-racist/anti-oppressive, body-positive therapist. I encourage anyone who is curious about working with me to schedule a free phone consultation!

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and client-centered—I believe that each person’s story is unique, and I tailor our work together using a blend of evidence-based modalities such as psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based practices. Throughout the therapy journey, I am committed to walking alongside my clients, providing steady support as they explore their emotions, make meaningful changes, and build resilience. I view therapy as a collaborative process, where we work together to identify goals and strategies that align with each individual’s values, strengths, and needs.

What you can expect from me

I am committed to providing culturally sensitive and trauma-informed care, creating a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward healing and growth. My goal is to meet clients where they are, helping them navigate emotional challenges with compassion, clarity, and respect.
