Sending you a warm welcome.

If you’ve stumbled upon my page, you’re likely seeking emotional support and helpful skills to navigate life’s challenges.

1. Perhaps you’ve felt stuck, sad or anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your work, family, relationships, or yourself.
2. You may identify with feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, and lost as you contemplate life transitions such as becoming a new mother, parent, or partner.
3. You can resonate with the experience of guilt, pressure, and burnout due to being a child of immigrants, a high-performing working professional, and trying to build a life that feels intentional outside of external demands.

As a client in my practice, you’ll be presented with inclusive, trauma-informed, culturally sensitive feedback and skills. As we build our professional relationship, I want you to feel comfortable so you can be honest and safe with your heavy and sometimes big, unpleasant feelings, defeating thoughts, and difficult life experiences. We work together to process your thoughts, examine thinking patterns or habits, and everyday stressors, and allow room for acceptance of things you cannot control. You can gain new skills in therapy by discussing your experience through a culturally sensitive lens. Your story is unique, so we will work together to navigate treatment goals that can improve your quality of life.
