I have extensive experience working with parents who feel overwhelmed and uncertain about how to respond to their children's and adolescents' challenging behaviors. At times parents find themselves unable to agree on parenting approaches which adds to the stress in the home and impacts relationships. Often couples at some time or another experience conflict within their relationship, however, when things remain unresolved, this can lead to relationship breakdown or disconnect. When growing up, many of us did not have role models who demonstrated effective communication or helpful ways to deal with their emotions including anger.

My ideal client is someone who feels overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, or emotional distress and is struggling to find clarity and balance in their life. They may be carrying the weight of past experiences, battling self-doubt, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Their most profound need is to feel heard, understood, and supported in a space where they can explore their emotions without fear of judgment. They seek tools to manage their thoughts, regulate their feelings, and regain control, ultimately striving for healing, personal growth, and a renewed sense of self.

Big life changes can leave you feeling all kinds of lost—like you’re not quite sure who you are anymore or how to fit in. Maybe past experiences keep showing up uninvited. Maybe your relationships feel distant, or you’re stuck between cultures, trying to hold on to who you are while adapting to something new. If this sounds familiar, I see you—and I’m here for you. For over 20 years, I’ve worked with people from all walks of life, especially migrants navigating identity and belonging. I offer a warm, safe space to talk things through, get unstuck, and start healing.

I now have immediate availability for new clients (both face to face and Telehealth).
I understand what it’s like to feel trapped in the constant noise around food, body image, and self-worth. My own journey with an eating disorder has deeply shaped the way I practice today. I bring not only clinical expertise but genuine empathy, lived understanding, and hope that full recovery is possible. My approach is collaborative and evidence-based, drawing from schema therapy, emotion-focused work, and body image healing. Most importantly, it’s grounded in the belief that you are not broken, your struggles are a response to unmet needs, and together, we can help you meet those needs in healthier, more empowering ways.
