Drawing from EMDR, somatic interventions, and DBT, I help clients process trauma, regulate emotions, and reconnect with their inner strengths while developing practical tools for healing and growth.
You may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns that feel difficult to change. Many clients who reach out are navigating relationship challenges, trauma, cultural or identity stress, or the impact of difficult past experiences. As a second-generation immigrant, I understand the complexity of balancing personal needs with family and cultural expectations. Clients often seek therapy to gain clarity, find emotional relief, strengthen relationships, and create a safe space to better understand themselves and move forward.

Together, we'll deepen your self-understanding through IFS and EMDR, healing old wounds and connecting with all parts of yourself, so you can move forward feeling calmer, more satisfied, and fully enjoying the life you’ve worked so hard to build.
Do you feel like no matter how much you accomplish, it still doesn’t feel like enough? Do you wake up already anxious, your mind racing with everything you “should” be doing, and go to bed second-guessing interactions at work, with friends, or with your partner? Do you find yourself constantly scanning for what could go wrong, overanalyzing conversations, or replaying mistakes — even though no one else sees them? You’re ambitious and adaptable, but anxiety never lets you fully relax into your relationships and life. Even in success, relief fades fast, replaced by this constant pressure and worry.
