Great to meet you!

Welcome! I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with experience supporting individuals and couples through life transitions, relational challenges, cultural shifts, and identity exploration. I’ve worked closely with immigrants and first-generation individuals, as well as clients navigating trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, other mood-related concerns, and relationship issues. My goal is to help you build emotional resilience, deepen self-understanding, and create more fulfilling connections.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, grounded, and compassionate. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences, reconnect with your strengths, and move toward meaningful growth and change. My style is direct yet supportive, and I’ll offer gentle guidance while honoring your pace and lived experience.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we’ll begin by getting to know your story, what’s bringing you to therapy, and what you hope to gain from the process. My goal is for you to feel heard, understood, and supported as we identify what feels most important to focus on together. If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out and schedule a first session.
