About me
You’re tired of feeling like you have to leave parts of your identity at the door when you walk into a therapist's office. Whether you are navigating the heavy expectations of family, the 'silent' weight of anxiety, or the complexity of being a multicultural individual in a high-pressure world, I’m here to tell you: You don't have to carry it alone anymore.
Therapy should be more than just 'venting.' It should be a space where your faith, your culture, and your lived experience are the foundation of your healing, not an afterthought. I move beyond the standard clinical scripts to offer a partnership that is warm, direct, and deeply personalized. We’ll dig into the 'why' behind your stress and relationship patterns, but we’ll also focus on the 'how' offering practical tools to help you reclaim your peace. Whether we are navigating family conflict or processing career burnout , my goal is to help you move from 'just getting by' to living a life that feels aligned with who you truly are.
