Possibilities start with kindness towards yourself.
I am not accepting new clients.
Past trauma learned rigid thought or behavioral patterns, or the many challenges of life may leave you feeling stuck. I strive to be non-judgmental and compassionate to support you in navigating difficulties, achieving your goals, and living the life that is meaningful and purposeful to you. Our collaborative work will integrate your inner wisdom and my knowledge of evidence-based treatments. My therapeutic approach aims to help you harness your strengths, explore what is most important to you, practice new behavioral patterns, and cultivate self-compassion.
I specialize in helping people experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD and complex trauma reactions, self-criticism, shame, relationship and family concerns, and life transitions. My personal life experiences as a 1.5 generation immigrant helps inform how I work with individuals to explore how identities may shape our struggles and navigate cultural differences within the family and community.
My work is guided by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, compassion-focused interventions, exposure, and CBT, which are strongly supported by scientific research. I am passionate about fostering an environment in which you feel respected, understood, and supported to work through the hurt and difficulties that often cause us to feel stuck in our lives. Ultimately my wish is that you will leave our work feeling free to do the things you care most about.
