Great to meet you!

I specialize in treating conditions such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and self-esteem challenges, particularly in the context of self-identity, interpersonal relationships (personal/professional), and complex family dynamics (cultural and intergenerational trauma). My approach emphasizes cultural competency and Client-centeredness, ensuring that each client's unique background and life experiences are respected and integrated into our therapeutic process.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Working with me feels empowering and collaborative. We’ll explore your goals for therapy and identify what matters most to you, ensuring your goals align with your personal values. We’ll break them down into manageable steps, focusing on practical outcomes that make progress feel achievable. As your journey unfolds, we’ll adjust these goals, allowing space for flexibility and growth. I encourage open communication and aim to ensure that you feel comfortable, respected, and heard from the start.

What you can expect from our first session

In our weekly therapy sessions, I will help you gain a deeper understanding of the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we’ll work to identify and challenge unhelpful or negative thought patterns that may be contributing to your emotional distress or unhealthy behaviors. By bringing these patterns to light, you will be empowered to question their validity and develop more balanced, realistic perspectives.
