"I believe that a different therapy must be constructed for each patient because each has a unique story.”

ABOUT

MY APPROACH

Are you someone who looks like they have it all figured out on the outside — successful career, the right relationship, status — and yet you feel anxious or unfulfilled? Have you been navigating a major life transition recently? Are you caught between two cultures or trying to find peace and purpose within a chaotic and unpredictable world? 

Wherever you are in your journey, please know that I see you and I understand. I’ve navigated many such transitions of my own — from leaving the corporate world and finding a more fulfilling path within counseling to immigrating to a new country and taking ownership of my life purpose. 

I offer a holistic, personalized approach to therapy. By combining psychotherapy with other modalities, I seek to get to the root of the issue. I help my clients work through their traumas and chronic patterns, examine self-limiting beliefs, release emotions stuck in the body, and become aware of conditioned, repetitive behaviors that no longer serve them. I believe in giving my clients the tools to heal themselves. 

I have experience working with adults and couples for issues including anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, life transitions, relationships, and hopelessness. I am skilled at counseling multicultural clients with their unique challenges in an individual or family capacity, as well as helping them with the difficulties they might face in work environments.

I know healing can be challenging but the rewards are truly worth it. I am here to offer you a nurturing and non-judgmental space in which you can begin to make changes and heal.
