Great to meet you!

I offer a warm, empathic, and collaborative therapy space that reflects my passion for helping clients build more meaningful and authentic lives. I have worked with individuals across the lifespan with various concerns including depression, anxiety, stress, relationships, identity, education/career, and family-of-origin. I also have specialized training in working with college students, immigrants, and trauma survivors.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is rooted in existential & interpersonal therapies, which allows us to focus on understanding yourself and the meaning you make out of your experiences, while attending to your interpersonal relationships and social functioning. I also incorporate techniques from CBT, DBT, and ACT to achieve therapy goals. My culture-centered approach allows me to attend to the intersections of your cultural identities and how it impacts your experience of the world.

What you can expect from me

My goal for clients is always to increase their awareness of themselves, insight into presenting concerns, and start to make decisions on whether/how to make changes.
