I work with youth and adults who feel weighed down by anxiety, stress, trauma, or grief and want something deeper than coping, that is genuine healing. My clients appreciate therapy that blends mindfulness and modern psychology, offering space to slow down and find balance. Having worked across Europe, Asia, and North America, I bring a multicultural perspective that can be particularly valuable for racial minorities and newcomers. Sessions are calm, and tailored to what matters most to you. Together we explore old patterns, discover emotional resilience, and help you reconnect with a sense of steadiness and peace in everyday life.
I specialize in Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) , a gentle, body‑based trauma therapy that helps the nervous system release deep shocks formed in moments of overwhelm/trauma. Alongside DBR, I use CBT, Trauma‑Focused CBT, SFBT, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness methods. This mix combines Eastern calm with Western science to build lasting balance.
If life feels heavy or unsettled, it’s okay to ask for support. Therapy offers a space to breathe, reflect, and begin feeling at ease again. Healing isn’t about perfection, it’s about finding gentle ways to move forward. You don’t have to face it alone; real change begins with one step toward care and understanding. I’ll meet you with warmth, and respect.

I help youth and adults dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, and stress. In our first sessions, we'll look at what's been hard and create a plan that feels safe and achievable. Using gentle methods like DBR, CBT, and mindfulness, most clients notice more calm, clarity, and confidence as life begins to feel lighter and more manageable.
