As a first-generation immigrant and clinical social worker in private practice for over a decade, I’m deeply committed to supporting young professionals navigating emotional pain and inner conflict. When trauma and unresolved wounds go unaddressed, they often show up as problematic relationships, career dissatisfaction, self-blame, shame, low self-worth, substance use, and an overwhelming sense that life is something to simply endure.

I believe it’s essential to look not only at the individual, but also at the broader context we’re living in. The COVID-19 pandemic reshaped our collective sense of safety and stability—and since then, we’ve been met with crisis after crisis: climate anxiety, political polarization, global and personal threats of violence. Add to that the mental toll of technology—especially smartphones and social media—and it’s no surprise so many people feel anxious, burnt out, or disconnected from their values and sense of purpose.

Over the years, I’ve developed a therapeutic style that’s both grounded and active. I’m direct when needed, helping clients confront blind spots and pain points that have kept them stuck. At the same time, I bring deep empathy and presence to our work—creating space for vulnerability, healing, and self-discovery. My own journey of working through early life trauma informs my practice, allowing me to meet clients with compassion and a strong sense of the shared human experience.

Currently, I offer virtual sessions and am licensed to work with clients in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Colorado.
