Great to meet you!

Maybe you're the person everyone depends on, but lately you're wondering who is there for you. You may be caring for a struggling loved one, grieving someone you lost, dealing with family tension, or lying awake worrying about things you can't control. For some women, that also means balancing work, family, and cultural expectations while quietly feeling exhausted or disconnected from yourself. With more than a decade of experience, my goal is to help you feel less overwhelmed and find a healthier way forward.

My approach to therapy

Therapy with me isn't about telling you how you should feel or expecting you to change everything at once. We'll look at what's creating the most stress in your life and identify realistic changes, whether that's quieting anxious thoughts, communicating with family without every conversation turning tense, or setting boundaries without feeling guilty. We'll also look at how family dynamics and cultural expectations shape the pressure you put on yourself.

What you can expect from me

You don't need to come to your first session knowing exactly what to say. I'll ask questions to understand what's happening and how it's affecting your everyday life. You'll have space to talk openly without feeling judged or rushed. By the end, you'll have a clear sense of what we can begin working on together.
