Great to meet you!

My ideal client faces life-changing challenges like health issues, cultural adjustments, relationship shifts, or career disruptions that created clear "before and after" moments. They seek meaningful growth, not just relief, that honors their culture. They want to develop resilience that connects personal healing with community relationships because context is important. They're ready to explore how challenges can become paths to flourishing through self-awareness and compassion while strengthening connections with others.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in cultivating Posttraumatic Growth and helping you develop resilience through life's challenges. My approach respects your cultural background while building capacities for personal healing and stronger relationships. I blend cultural wisdom with evidence-based practices to honor your whole experience and support genuine transformation.

What you can expect from me

Felt awareness that your experience matters. I create a space where your cultural background and community connections are valued as healing resources. I welcome you to explore how challenges can become opportunities for deeper flourishing.
