Great to meet you!

I graduated from University of Pennsylvania and have been practicing since 2013. I am specialized in treatment of trauma and mood regulation. Trauma affects everyone differently and for some, they end up developing feelings of anxiety, depression, anger, and low self-esteem issues due to the unprocessed tensions. I hope to help my clients find balance in cultural negotiation in multicultural families, workplaces, and society through treatment.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I have expertise in many therapeutic approaches, including Psychodynamic Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness-based Interventions, Culturally Sensitive Therapy, and etc. I believe in tailoring therapy to my clients, because everyone is unique. My specialty is working with high-achieving 1st generation Americans and those of multi- ethnic, cultural, religious, and socio-economic backgrounds, who struggle with trauma.

What you can expect from our first session
