Welcome - I’m so glad you’ve found your way here! Are you feeling anxious or depressed, having negative or self-critical thoughts, or facing the unique challenges of being an immigrant? As an immigrant myself, I understand the complexities and emotions that come with adjusting to a new culture and country. This lived experience informs my compassionate and therapeutic approach. I’m committed to creating a safe and supportive space where you can openly share your experiences.
My practice is trauma informed, anti-oppressive, and culturally sensitive; incorporating various evidence-based therapeutic modalities to meet your needs and hopes for therapy. In our sessions we’ll explore and bring understanding to your experiences, develop practical coping strategies, and work together to build resilience and enhance your wellbeing.
Let’s chat more if you’re ready to take the next step, have any questions, or are curious about me.
