I focus on multicultural identity, oldest sibling and family-role dynamics, and the intersection of personal autonomy and mental health in young adults. Together, we’ll explore the underlying purpose of your patterns, build emotional regulation skills, process past wounds, examine identity, strengthen executive functioning, work through guilt and shame, navigate family dynamics, improve distress tolerance, enhance communication, and address challenges with intimacy. I help clients better understand patterns in their relationships, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while creating practical tools for lasting change.
Together, we’ll identify unhelpful cycles, strengthen emotional awareness and regulation, build healthier coping strategies, improve communication and boundaries, and develop sustainable self-care practices that support your day-to-day well-being.
My approach is warm, engaging, direct, and compassionate, using insightful questioning, reflective listening, and collaborative dialogue to create a space for introspection, mutual understanding, and meaningful resolution. I affirm and support clients who identify as BIPOC, AAPI, Latinx, LGBTQ+, and neurodivergent.
