What has led you here? You may have overcome many obstacles to get to where you are.
Now, you have already taken the first step to a more enriching life. Therapy may be a
challenging and complex process at times, I am here to help you unpack the experiences
you have been through. Together, we can create a warm and safe space where you can be
open, comfortable, and authentically you, without any judgment and distractions.

I believe therapy should be intercultural and individualized, meaning that your personal
needs come first. We’ll explore your journey towards growth and the opportunities for
change that lie ahead by examining how your identity and interpersonal dynamics shape
your environment. While I will be your guide on this path, you are the true expert of your
life. I will be supportive and collaborative as you go through this process of personal development, in order for you to thrive and flourish from within.

As a second-generation immigrant, I am honored to have worked with people of diverse
backgrounds. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families with the
understanding that racial, cultural, gender, and sexual identities all play a distinct role in our daily lives. My approach to therapy is informed by my strong belief in cultural competency. Using techniques such as narrative, cognitive behavioral, relational, play and family therapies, and incorporating mindfulness practices, I can work with you through adjustment issues, communication blocks, family dynamics and personal identities. I look forward to supporting you in your therapeutic journey.
