Hi there! My ideal client is someone who feels stuck—whether due to anxiety, grief, trauma, identity struggles, life transitions, or cultural adjustment. They may be parents, teens, immigrants, or individuals with ADHD. Despite their challenges, they believe life can be more fulfilling. They seek healing, clarity, and connection—not just relief, but the chance to live fully and authentically. More than clinical help, they need safety, understanding, and space to rediscover the parts of themselves they’ve hidden to survive.
As a licensed counselor with training in ADHD, and multicultural care, I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where your whole self is welcomed. Using a person-centered, holistic approach with CBT, DBT, and spiritual integration, I work at your pace to support healing, insight, and meaningful change.
If you’re feeling disconnected, discouraged, or unsure where to start, you’re not alone. You don’t need to have it all figured out—therapy welcomes your uncertainty. I’d be honored to walk with you, hold space for your story, and help you build a life that feels aligned and whole. Let’s take the next step—together.

I often use CBT and Person-centered therapy in my practice. CBT helps clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for issues like anxiety and depression. It's structured and goal focused. Person-centered therapy provides a warm, empathetic space where clients feel heard and valued, trusting that they can grow and heal when supported without judgment.
