As a culturally sensitive clinical social worker with over a decade of experience, I specialize in supporting underrepresented adults, immigrants, and children of immigrants through life’s most challenging moments. I’m passionate about helping you navigate anxiety, depression, grief, substance use, and relationship issues with compassion and understanding. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empowerment—offering a safe, non-judgmental space where your unique story is honored and your voice is valued.
I understand the complex intersections of identity, culture, and mental health, and I’m committed to helping you embrace your strengths, heal from past pain, and thrive in the present. Whether you're dealing with generational trauma, cultural pressures, or personal struggles, we’ll work together to break through barriers and create meaningful change.
You deserve to live a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. Through evidence-based practices and a tailored approach, I will help you reconnect with your inner resilience, find peace, and build healthier relationships—with yourself and others. Let's journey together toward healing and empowerment.
