Great to meet you!

As your supportive and caring therapist, I am passionate about connecting with you and standing alongside you. I'm here to help you sort through the things that are difficult and offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment. As a multilingual immigrant I understand cultural challenges, barriers and generational traumas that can be a roadblock to achieving our goals.

My approach to therapy

Let's work together in a safe and warm therapeutic environment to process your traumas, grief, loss, anxiety, or any challenges you might be facing. I work from a trauma focused lens and believe that emotional healing needs to happen in the body as well. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and provide a safe environment for all my clients.

What you can expect from me

My hope is that in our collaborative setting you will feel a deeper connection to yourself, increase your self-compassion and develop a stronger sense of your own strengths in this process of self-discovery. You can expect to feel safe, comfortable, heard, seen, and my goal is that you can walk away feeling empowered and hopeful about the present and future.
