Welcome! Therapy can be a safe place to explore your fears and worries, and also a place where you can learn new coping strategies, while finding hope and healing. Many of us have wounds from the past and often, new traumas can trigger those wounds to re-emerge. However, living the life you deserve is possible. I believe in the power of the human spirit and that it moves us towards healing. In therapy, you can find your way back to our path or create a new one. I see clients only via teletherapy.
My specialty is addressing anxiety, depression, relationship issues/adult attachment issues and trauma. Considering each individual's culture is an essential part of working with my clients. Therefore, I integrate concepts of intersectionality into my work. I work from an eclectic and evidenced-based approach since every client is unique.
We all have a story and sometimes we just need someone to hear it. Many of us have had oppressive experiences, struggles, challenges or traumas in life. As an adult child of immigrant parents, I understand the influence of culture in how we each see the world and how those cultural differences can be challenging to maneuver in relationships with others.
