Parents who may want to understand their children better and respond in ways that foster connection rather than tension. Couples and families who feel a sense of disconnect from their loved ones and themselves. Wanting to rebuild closeness, learn how to communicate more effectively, and find healthier ways to navigate conflict. The people I work with are often carrying a lot on their shoulders. They may be struggling with anxiety, stress, or burnout from constantly feeling the pressure to meet high expectations — whether from work, family, or themselves. Other therapists seeking supervision in an individual/dyadic format.
With 15 years of experience, I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapies for anxiety, depression, and stress. As an immigrant therapist, I bring cultural awareness and a supportive approach to help individuals, couples, and families heal and grow. I provide EFT, CBT for couples, DBT, and Trauma-informed therapy for families/parents, and ERP for OCD.
It takes courage to reach out for support. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel understood and accepted. We’ll gently explore what’s been holding your relationship, family, or you back and find ways to move toward healing, balance, and a stronger sense of self. couples and families, helping them strengthen bonds, resolve conflict, and create harmony

I offer emotion-focused therapy in my practice. In the first session, we explore what currently affects you, where you feel stuck, and how you experience your family. In the following session, we will learn the role of emotions and how they affect the current situation. With EFT, we learn to experience these emotions without acting in ways that hurt us.
