Great to meet you!

Many of my clients come to me feeling disconnected — from their families, from themselves, and sometimes from the culture they grew up in. Whether you're a child struggling to put words to big emotions, an adult caught in cycles of anxiety or anger you can't seem to break, or an elder navigating new chapters while carrying years of unresolved pain, you deserve a space where your experience is genuinely understood. The challenges my clients face — anxiety, OCD, family conflict, anger, cultural identity — rarely exist in isolation, and I bring that same whole-person lens to every session.

My approach to therapy

My approach is direct and grounded in real change. Over 14 years of practice as a social worker, I've found that what most people need isn't someone to simply validate their pain—it's a partner who will help them understand where it comes from and move through it. I work with clients across all ages and backgrounds, meeting each person where they are while holding a clear focus on where they want to go. Sessions with me are honest and collaborative, and I'm not afraid to explore the harder questions alongside you.

What you can expect from me

If you've been putting off getting help — whether because it feels overwhelming or you're not sure where to begin — I want you to know that reaching out is the hardest part, and you don't have to have it all figured out before you do. I welcome clients of all ages and backgrounds. Reach out today and let's figure out the rest together.
