Please Note: I currently have in person openings on Wednesdays and can provide Telehealth sessions Mon-Fri.
If you are feeling overwhelmed and struggling to cope, seeking support can help you navigate stressors due to life transitions, relationships, depression, anxiety or trauma. I am so passionate about helping people identify obstacles and live a more fulfilling, balanced life. To facilitate this process, I provide support with respectful, non-judgmental listening to your personal concerns. My style is active and goal-oriented; I use encouragement, teach effective coping strategies and offer new perspectives and tools. I help clients through challenging situations to discover solutions to the issues that bring them to therapy.

I am currently doing in person and telehealth sessions.
Managing life can feel like an uphill battle at times. The challenges it brings often causes us to pivot in ways that impact our growth mindset and emotional well-being. My approach is to offer a therapeutic space where we can explore the many avenues toward emotional healing together. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Instead, I tailor my methods to build a strong, collaborative working relationship within a non-judgmental environment. I like to incorporate shared experiences and use respectful humor to establish a foundation for meaningful change.

I offer both in-person and teletherapy sessions for adolescents and adults wanting therapy, coaching, or consultation.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate helping adolescents, young adults, and adults navigate anxiety, depression, life stress, and relationships. I've found that people seek support when worry won’t shut off, sleep, focus, or energy tank, or when stacked stressors pile up. In session, we’ll dive deep to understand your emotions and self-awareness, or shift gears into hands‑on coaching, learning how to accept feelings without getting stuck and how to manage thoughts without fighting them. My style is down‑to‑earth and practical. We’ll work side by side, as co-captains, to guide your journey toward positive change.

Deciding to start therapy can be intimidating and often folks don’t know what to expect. As a therapist, I want to make my clients feel comfortable, heard and valued from the initial consultation to the last treatment session. I’ve worked with a wide variety of clients facing challenges ranging from adjustment issues to eating disorders, complicated grief to substance use, and I feel that each individual is worthy of the time, space and effort to find healing, peace and balance in their lives.

Life just doesn’t line up with what you hoped it would be. Despite looking like you’ve got it together on the outside, you feel anxious and depressed on the inside.. You’ve lost yourself in the midst of trauma, a diagnosis, loss, or life transition. You can’t shut your brain off. No matter how hard you try, you struggle with worry, rumination, guilt, and feelings of worthlessness. The negative self-talk leaves you feeling alone and afraid. This affects all aspects of your life. Your world feels like it’s getting smaller and smaller, and you don’t know where you fit.

As a second-generation immigrant and woman of color with a bicultural identity, I am keenly aware that experiencing hardships in life can feel difficult to talk about. Many of my clients experience emotional pain - whether their relationships feel disconnected, stress and self-criticism are impacting confidence, or unresolved past experiences are impacting their sense of self. Navigating the intersections of our unique lives can feel exhausting to process alone. My passion is to nurture curiosity with compassion and revive the path of intentional and heartful living alongside my clients.
