Are you wondering… Why your child doesn’t talk much or seems to be quiet all the time? Why your child likes to be alone or has a hard time with friendships? Why your child does the same thing over and over again? Why your child insists on sticking to routines? If you have considered these questions, I have answers.

Between the impact of culture, sexual/gender identity, and neurodiversity, the world can be a confusing place as you try to navigate life. As a bicultural psychologist, I understand the importance of culturally informed care, and how difficult and isolating it can feel when your family or community's beliefs don’t align with yours. It is my priority to provide a safe space to examine your unique identity, helping you understand and overcome self limiting beliefs and feelings of shame that may be blocking your path, and to be fully present with you as you deepen your self-awareness and embrace your true self.

In our sessions, we will engage in an open process where you can safely explore your feelings, thoughts, wishes, and behaviors. My expertise will help you to understand the underlying causes of your current difficulties. In therapy, we will clarify how your emotions impact your everyday experiences and relationships, and we will work to solve problems by identifying patterns that may be connected to your distress. I believe through therapy, as awareness is raised and insights are established, shifts and changes can be made for the betterment of your relationships, career, and daily life.
