If you're navigating life between cultures—whether as an immigrant, international student, or global citizen—and want to reconnect with yourself and build confidence in work and relationships, you're in the right place. You might appear fine on the outside while experiencing internal disconnection or uncertainty about who you truly are. Living between worlds can feel isolating, even when you're surrounded by people. As someone who has lived this experience myself, I understand the grief of leaving home and a familiar identity behind, the pressure to adapt and perform in a new culture, and the lack of sense of belonging.
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.
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. As Brené Brown said, "Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light." Give me a call, and we will be on the path to find 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.
