My approach to therapy centers your personal and cultural values. I have expertise and a passion for helping those who feel held back from living the life you want because your anxious thoughts have too much power or take up too much time. Sometimes these thoughts may be so obsessive yet difficult to share with anyone because they don't align with who you are - the very fact that they cross your mind can feel scary, weird, or embarrassing. I will help you confront and overcome them while using humor and being real with you in the process. Schedule a free intro call to get a sense of whether I'm the right person to help!
Aside from internal thoughts, our interactions with others play a big part in our mental wellness. Whether in your social, family, or intimate relationships, if you find yourself feeling disconnected, hurt, and unable to get your needs met despite trying your best, or struggling to break out of patterns, an objective and professional perspective can help.
As you grow and evolve as a person, it's not uncommon to have trouble finding balance between conflicting values, navigating two worlds or cultures, and growing into your own in the context of family. I have the skills and personal experiences to help you navigate these challenges. My website has more details on my approach, next steps, and scheduling!

Clients describe me as having a calming presence, easy to talk to, while unafraid of awkward yet necessary conversations. I believe in showing up as my authentic self and using humor. My approach is interpersonal, and I make sense of clients' problems through attachment, family systems, as well as culturally- and trauma-informed lenses. I often integrate ERP, ACT, and IFS interventions.
