Congratulations on taking the first step toward a happier, more fulfilling life—you truly deserve it. I understand that change requires courage, support, and an inner desire to grow. I am committed to providing a warm, non-judgmental space where we can explore the barriers to your change. Together, we can work to achieve your goals.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I’m passionate about supporting individuals, including first-generation immigrants and children of immigrants, in deepening their self-understanding and building healthier, more meaningful relationships. I recognize the unique challenges faced by those balancing two cultures while seeking a sense of self and belonging.
I also enjoy working with mothers and parents as they navigate the new challenges of parenthood, helping them remain authentic and self-compassionate throughout the process. My specialties include relationships, self-esteem, addiction and recovery, co-dependency, women’s issues, stress, anxiety, and finding balance in life.

Resilient Roots for Immigrants

I’m excited to announce the start of a new in person group therapy space called "Resilient Roots," in San Mateo beginning on Friday afternoons in February! This group is designed specifically for immigrants and adult children of immigrants—a place to come together, share stories, and explore the unique challenges of navigating life in the "in-between." Through open conversations, we’ll address the complex realities of balancing cultures, expectations, and identities while recognizing the incredible resilience within ourselves and our generational histories.
