Sometimes being the strong one becomes exhausting. You may be carrying anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, addiction concerns, family responsibilities, or cultural expectations while continuing to show up for everyone around you. Perhaps you are navigating life between cultures, adjusting to a new country, dealing with immigration or refugee-related challenges, or simply trying to find a place where you feel understood. You don’t have to navigate these challenges alone. Therapy can be a safe, supportive space to be heard, find clarity, heal, and begin creating meaningful change.
I am an LMSW under clinical supervision with 16+ years of experience in child welfare, psychiatric settings, mental health, immigration issues, LGBTQ, teen issues, and addictions. I support individuals, couples, and families facing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, relationship and family challenges through collaborative, strengths-based care.
You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where your culture, experiences, and strengths are valued. Whether you’re facing mental health, addiction, relationship, family, or life transitions, we can work together toward healing and meaningful change. I invite you to reach out when you’re ready.
