Beginning therapy is an important step, and my goal is to make the experience safe, welcoming, and empowering. I value building genuine connections with my clients through open communication, respect, and trust. I believe you are the expert in your own story, and I work alongside you to support your healing and growth.
As an immigrant, I understand how cultural differences, family expectations, and systemic barriers can feel overwhelming and isolating. These experiences are real and valid. I draw from Solution-Focused Therapy and trauma-informed care to create a plan that respects your cultural background while supporting your unique needs.
I work with young adults, adults, couples, and families, focusing on trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and personality disorders. With a compassionate, culturally grounded approach, I support clients facing immigration, language, and identity challenges while balancing cultural values with life in the U.S.
