In our work together, you’ll find a compassionate space to process the pain and begin to reconnect with yourself, your child, and your life.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist—and an immigrant myself—I understand how emotional and overwhelming the immigration journey can be. That’s why I’ve dedicated my work to helping people navigate this process with care, understanding, and respect. I specialize in psychological evaluations for immigration cases, including Asylum, Extreme Hardship (I-601, I-601A Waivers), Cancellation of Removal, VAWA, and U Visa and T Visa petitions. Every assessment is carefully tailored to your unique circumstances so your story is honored and conveyed with clarity, empathy, and professionalism.

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.

Many of the amazing individuals and couples I work with come to therapy feeling stuck despite having high self-awareness. Maybe you know what that's like. You have a good understanding of yourself and your patterns, but you feel like you're at a loss for how to heal past wounds and make lasting changes. You might be experiencing anxiety, depression, or shame about not being able to get out of your own way. It's tough, especially for folks who are survivors of trauma or have had difficult early life experiences. The good news though is that healing is possible – through therapy that goes deeper.

You might be interested in psychotherapy, because you’re facing recent problems that affect your work or personal life. The following are just several kinds of problems that are common among clients in my practice. Experiencing excessive sadness. Getting frustrated too quickly and intensely. Enduring repetitive thoughts that lead to feeling stuck. Procrastinating on significant decisions. Having trouble with sleep. Feeling overly sensitive to rejection or criticism in relationships. Drinking too much or smoking too much. Problems such as these can reverberate throughout your life and, moreover, might be traced back into your past.

For a long time, you have tried to "hold it together." Perhaps, you may have prided yourself in your ability to power through challenging circumstances. You have finally reached your limit and the stress has taken its toll. I tell clients to think of therapy as a navigation system. You put the destination in the GPS and the GPS guides you in the right direction. Think of me as your guide. My clients are free to choose their destination. We may take detours, and pit-stops, but we will safely, reach those destinations. It is your turn to rise. RISE from overwhelming feelings, depression, loneliness, anger, self doubt and choose YOU!

At Neurodiversity & Disability Affirming Therapy, I work with neurodivergent folx, people with disabilities, and the queer community. Together, we can work on processing trauma, understanding yourself better, living with different social and cognitive needs, building self-compassion, strengthening self-esteem and self-trust, and accepting your diagnosis, among other things. Expect kindness, playfulness, deep connection, and radical acceptance.

Many people see therapy as a one-sided conversation, with little opportunity for interaction or getting to experience each other as real people. I can promise you that I am as real as it gets! I want to help you achieve whatever goals, solutions and life changes you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible and experiencing yourself in new ways. Simply put, I don’t believe therapy has to always be a painful thing. Calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to call or email and see how I can help.
