I help immigrants and international students reconnect with themselves, manage anxiety, and build confidence in work and relationships. You might look like you’re doing fine on the outside, yet feel anxious, disconnected, or unsure of who you are inside. As an immigrant myself, I understand the quiet grief of leaving home and a familiar identity behind, the pressure to perform in a new cultural environment, and the loneliness that often comes with living between worlds. You don’t have to walk this path alone. I’m here to help you make sense of this transition and turn it into a meaningful, fulfilling chapter of life.
My work is shaped by both professional training and lived experience. Together, we’ll explore your past and how it continues to influence who you are today. I’ll support you in developing practical tools, emotional clarity, and the courage to pursue a life that feels meaningful and true to you. I also offer EMDR sessions for trauma work.
I believe a good therapist continually works on themselves. Through my own therapy, I know how daunting it can be, but I have also experienced tremendous personal growth from it. As Brené Brown said, "Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light." I'll be supporting you in finding your unique light.

I love integrating science and experiential work into my practice. I believe body and mind are closely connected and invite clients to explore how changing breathing patterns, visualization, creativities, and other experiential components can help create deeper and lasting changes. I value the autonomy of the client and always ask for feedback on how you like the session to be.
