Reaching out for support takes courage, especially if you've been carrying everything on your own for a long time. Maybe your mind won't slow down no matter how hard you try. You find yourself overthinking conversations, replaying situations, or expecting the worst. Perhaps you're lying awake at night unable to sleep, feeling emotionally exhausted, constantly on edge, or disconnected from the people and activities you once enjoyed. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, the effects of past trauma, relationship challenges, or a major life transition. Whatever has brought you here, I am here to help.
I believe therapy should be a place where you feel safe, understood, and accepted without judgment. Together, we'll explore the experiences that have shaped your life, gently process difficult emotions and past trauma at a pace that feels right for you, and identify practical strategies to help you move forward. My goal is to help you understand yourself.
I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, and cultural adjustment. My approach is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based, drawing primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Solution-Focused Therapy.

I help people who feel pulled between cultures, strained in relationships, or stuck in OCD loops that won't let their mind rest. You may look like you're managing but your not. Together, we make sense of these patterns, strengthen communication, and build practical ways to feel more grounded, connected, and in control.
