Great to meet you!

If you’re a teen or adult feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, relationship stress, or the weight of immigration, cultural identity, or family patterns, you don’t have to sort through it alone. I’m an LPCC who helps clients better understand themselves, recognize unhelpful patterns, and make meaningful changes that feel more aligned with who they are.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, practical, and trauma-informed. I draw from mindfulness, CBT, DBT, somatic practices, and other supportive tools to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships. Together, we’ll look at what’s helping, what may be getting in the way, and how to build more stability, connection, and confidence in daily life.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we’ll talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, what changes you’re hoping for, and what feels most important to work through. My goal is to understand you as a whole person so we can identify your strengths, make sense of patterns, and begin taking small, meaningful steps toward change that feels lasting, manageable, and true to you.
