As a psychotherapist, I help children, adolescents, and adults navigate life’s emotional challenges with compassion and care. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, or changes in relationships or life transitions, you don’t have to do it alone. I specialize in EMDR therapy, an evidence-based approach that supports healing from distressing or traumatic experiences that may still impact daily life. In a safe, supportive, and collaborative space, we’ll explore your emotions, build confidence, and work toward greater balance, resilience, and emotional well-being.

Using evidence-based approaches, I help clients recognize unhelpful patterns, develop effective coping skills, and strengthen confidence and resilience. My goal is to support your mental, emotional, and social growth so you can move forward with greater clarity, balance, and inner strength.

Change can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I have experience supporting individuals from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, and as someone from a multicultural family, I deeply value inclusion. My approach is warm, strengths-based, and supportive as we work together toward growth and a brighter future!

I frequently employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). During our initial session, we will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and collaboratively determine the most effective strategies to facilitate your progress. Through CBT, we will examine the relationship between your thoughts and emotions. I will assist you in challenging those thoughts to foster more positive feelings.
