Background

It takes courage to begin looking inward, and you're already taking the first step. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, or living with a disability, or you're simply seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, therapy can offer support, clarity, and meaningful growth. As a second-generation immigrant, I bring a deep appreciation for the complexities of identity, culture, and belonging. I integrate evidence-based modalities with a trauma-informed lens.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. Whether you're working through something specific or simply exploring your sense of self, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and curiosity. You're welcome to reach out whenever you feel ready.
