I am a bicultural therapist who is passionate about supporting individuals through life’s most challenging moments. My approach is warm, collaborative, and client-centered—I believe that each person’s story is unique, and I tailor our work together using a blend of evidence-based modalities such as psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based practices.
I specialize in working with caregivers, individuals managing chronic illness, and first-generation students and immigrant families. I am an LGBTQI+ affirming, anti-racist/anti-oppressive, body-positive therapist.
Throughout the therapy journey, I am committed to walking alongside my clients, providing steady support as they explore their emotions, make meaningful changes, and build resilience. I view therapy as a collaborative process, where we work together to identify goals and strategies that align with each individual’s values, strengths, and needs.
