I believe safety to be a human right - not a privilege. This is what sits at the very core of who I am. This is what I bring to the work that I do. A certain intensity; a certain empathy; a certain knowing.

Martin Luther King, Jr. said it best, "Out of a mountain of despair, a stone of hope." Challenges in life are inevitable and at times, there are challenges that seem larger than our ability to manage them. Issues such as depression, anxiety; healing from previous trauma, and abuse are areas that can grip us and prevent us from living our best lives.

Healing Through EMDR and Integrative Therapy-
Trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and life stressors can feel overwhelming—but they don’t have to define your life. In my experience as a psychotherapist, I have found EMDR to be an effective and powerful approach that provides safe, compassionate relief from emotional suffering. Whether you’re navigating deep-rooted trauma or the stressors of daily life, finding a Certified EMDR Therapist who is trauma- and dissociation-informed is essential for effective healing.
My goal is to offer you compassionate, informed therapy that meets you where you are.

As a child, I grew up lacking the sense of love and security from my family, which led me to find my own guidance through rough and dark times. As a young adult, I worked with adolescents and young adults who faced similar challenges and lacked the guidance I had needed to become who I am today. This exposure inspired me to become a therapist, with the goal of providing those who lacked what I had growing up with the tools, guidance, and support they need to overcome their own rough and dark times. I believe that when we aspire to become someone, it's not about the time it takes but the mentality to keep us striving to get there.

As a first generation immigrant and a parent, I have had to navigate parenting issues in a multi-cultural society. I channeled those learnings into parenting classes for parents and social skills classes for teens. Prior to being a therapist, I worked in the hi-tech industry for several years. That exposure helped me understand the demands of corporate life, especially in the fast-paced silicon valley culture.

In world full current events that the ways we coexist as human beings, we lack safe spaces to be vulnerable. Most often the struggles, whether with depression, anxiety, concentration, toxic workplaces, trauma, experiences with racism, among other stressors are not openly discussed, creating deeply rooted feelings of loneliness and isolation. Most often the hardest thing is asking for help, confiding in someone, talking about how you feel. The beauty of therapy is that it provides this safe space to work through and discuss these issues, recognize how they affect different parts of your life and work to address them.

You are a quirky, creative spirit seeking out your place in this world. You love the path you’re on. But sometimes you feel alone, alienated, or overwhelmed by the world around you. Sometimes a feeling of emptiness, meaninglessness, fear, or uncertainty, keeps you up at night. You ask yourself, “why am I here? And what should my life be about?” You wonder about how to put your unique gifts to their best use. And how you might come to feel less alone as you learn to do so. Sometimes you still worry that you might just be too weird to find the kind of community, loving relationships, inner peace or success you are seeking.
