I work with children, teens, and adults especially those from multicultural or immigrant backgrounds who feel overwhelmed balancing emotions, family expectations, and life transitions. Many of my clients are navigating identity, cultural pressure, or major changes and feel stuck, anxious, or unsure of how to move forward. They want to feel more confident, understood, and at peace within themselves while honoring both their personal needs and cultural values.

If you're looking to feel more grounded, stable, and at peace in your personal and professional life, I can help. I work with individuals struggling with overwhelming worry, feelings of inadequacy, fear that things can’t change, or the sense that life is happening to them rather than with them. I also support clients navigating complex family or romantic relationships, the integration of sexual orientation and/or gender identity with other areas of life, and processing grief from loss, death, or relationship endings.

Individuals seek out therapy with me for reasons ranging from panic attacks and existential dread, life transitions, disordered eating and identity exploration. In relationship/couples therapy, I help folks get unstuck from entrenched patterns, like trading blame or feeling unappreciated and misunderstood. Couples sometimes seek therapy with me to address co-parenting challenges, to explore questions around identity and sexuality, and to get help making big decisions. Sometimes folks aren't sure what they want, but they know their relationship isn't going the way either party hoped. Other times the goal is simply to stop fighting.
