You’re not failing—you’re human, and change is possible. I help individuals and couples slow things down, understand what’s underneath the conflict, and begin rebuilding safety and connection. Together, we work on responding from choice, not old pain, so you can show up in alignment with who you truly want to be.
I specialize in trauma work using EMDR and couples therapy with the Gottman Method and Emotion-Focused Therapy. I also draw from other approaches to tailor therapy to your needs, helping you process past experiences, build self-compassion, and connect more deeply with yourself and others.
I’ve been in therapy for over a decade, exploring many approaches myself, and I’ve learned what truly helps. I bring that understanding to my work with individuals and couples. I get how hard it can feel to start therapy—the uncertainty, the awkwardness—and I provide a space that’s safe, real, and grounded.

I work with POCs, especially children of immigrants, who struggle with trauma, perfectionism, mistrust, or feeling disconnected from themselves or partners. In therapy, we explore how past experiences shape patterns, practice new ways of responding, and most clients gain tools and insights within the first month that bring relief and self-compassion.

My approach is grounded in understanding how early relationships shape us. I offer trauma therapy using EMDR along with body-based, emotion-focused, compassion-focused, solution-focused, and creative approaches. We move at a pace that feels safe, regularly checking in with your body so difficult experiences aren't overwhelming. This work supports self-compassion and a more free, authentic self.
