About me
Counseling service is like having a personal trainer in the gym for our mind muscle; individually tailored guidance doesn’t hurt. We all have ups and downs in our life, work, family, relationships, and I'm here to support you through the things that are messy, challenging, and confusing with a safe space for you to just be yourself with no judgements. Let me join your journey of figuring-out, growing, healing, shining and thriving, and make the full access to life experiences with joy of living coming true.
I am a person-centered, relationship-focused therapist. I am here for you and what you care about. My role is to assist you with getting what you want in your life, nothing else. To achieve that, I draw from a wide range of therapy models, including mindfulness, insight building, self-compassion, communication, play, art, and other strength-based techniques.
I enjoy working with individuals of all ages, couples, and families from all walks of life with diverse cultural backgrounds. I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship issues, and marriage counseling through the lens of attachment styles, developmental neuroscience, childhood and family of origin exploration.
