Great to meet you!

As a first-generation immigrant professional, I bring a first-hand cultural understanding of the experiences that immigrant communities, and first-generation immigrants encounter which can help provide cultural understanding of systemic/structural challenges and strengths in your healing journey.

My approach to therapy

I have 10+ years experience working with children, youth, and adults in providing therapy via family therapy, play therapy, and individual therapy. I use the modalities of CBT, DBT, and relationally focused therapy with a systemic family therapy perspective. I have been trained in relationally based family therapy by a NYC agency affiliated with the Ackerman Institute, and trained in clinical practice with adolescents from NYU School of Social Work.

What you can expect from me

My intention is to join you in your healing journey by providing a safe, nurturing and trusting space to allow you to explore your experiences through talk therapy, and explore evidence based strategies that can support you in achieving your desired health.
