This therapist works with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, life stressors, and the emotional weight of high expectations. Many of her clients arrive feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain—struggling to find peace within themselves or connection in their relationships. She specializes in supporting adults who are searching for clarity, self-acceptance, and a deeper sense of belonging. Her clients often include first-generation professionals and students who feel caught between cultures, expectations, and their own evolving identity. As a first-generation immigrant herself, she brings a lived understanding of what it means to move between worlds, and her calm, grounded presence helps clients feel safe enough to exhale and begin the process of healing.
Her approach is rooted in trauma-informed, client-centered care. She integrates evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with holistic tools and principles of positive psychology. Through this lens, she helps clients explore the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while holding space for the cultural, generational, and systemic narratives that shape their experiences. Her therapeutic philosophy emphasizes that healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken—it’s about reconnecting with your inner wisdom, values, and voice.
Professionally, she brings a strong background in mental health counseling with experience in both private practice and community-based settings. Deeply attuned to the needs of clients from diverse backgrounds, she uses a culturally sensitive, identity-affirming approach to support those who may feel like they don’t fully belong—in their families, workplaces, or communities. Her continued education reflects a commitment to honoring both science and soul, and to offering therapy that is inclusive, validating, and empowering.
Her fully remote practice allows clients to engage in meaningful, consistent therapy from the comfort and privacy of their own space.
