I am a licensed psychologist with extensive experience in psychotherapy, training, supervision, and research in multicultural counseling. My passion lies in making therapy more accessible, particularly for individuals from cultures where seeking psychotherapy is stigmatized. I specialize in offering culturally responsive and strength-based therapy services for individuals navigating identity issues, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I use an eclectic approach, integrating interpersonal, multicultural, psychodynamic, and CBT approaches.

Ideal clients seeking my services often struggle with managing their anxious mood and related behaviors, which detrimentally affect their daily, social, and occupational functioning. They actively seek psychological support and are eager to acquire and apply effective positive coping strategies. Their primary objective is to regain control and stability in their lives, aiming for enhanced overall well-being and fulfillment. As a licensed clinical psychologist, I aim to provide them with the necessary guidance, tools, and therapeutic space to facilitate their journey toward achieving these goals.

As a therapist, my emphasis is on balance, growth, and change. I seek to guide clients towards better balance in various aspects of life (e.g., thoughts–feelings–actions, physical–mental, acceptance–change, and relationships with self–family) and, in turn, facilitate meaningful growth and change in their lives and relationships. Also, having lived in numerous cultural contexts, I bring a broad understanding of intercultural issues that arise within individuals, families, and couples.

The current emotional disturbance and negative thoughts often come from old self-beliefs, deeply rooted emotions from unresolved past experiences that are adverse or even traumatic. we all have inherent ability to build resilience and embrace challenges into growth and healing. I help my clients to reconnect with their resilience, improve insight into their issues, to ultimately find their own path to happiness, hope and a sense of wholeness.
