I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an evidence-based treatment that helps people manage stress, anxiety, and life's challenges by focusing on what matters most to them. Rather than fighting difficult thoughts or emotions, ACT helps you respond to them with greater flexibility and self-compassion. Together, we'll clarify your values, build practical coping skills, and take meaningful steps toward a life that feels more fulfilling, connected, and aligned with who you are.

I incorporate CBT into treatment to help you understand how your experiences influence your thoughts, emotions, and actions. We'll collaborate to identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build practical coping skills, and strengthen your ability to navigate stress with confidence. The goal is not to change who you are, but to help you respond to challenges in ways that feel empowering and align with your personal values.

Integrating Psychodynamic Theory, we will explore how past experiences, family relationships, and cultural messages have shaped the way you see yourself and connect with others. I will guide you in exploring relationship patterns that have left you feeling misunderstood or disconnected from others. By understanding where these patterns come from, you can develop healthier relationships, stronger boundaries, greater self-trust, and more freedom to make choices that align with your goals.

As a second-generation immigrant, I understand the challenges of balancing different cultures, expectations, and identities. Living between cultures can bring unique challenges, such as balancing family expectations, navigating different values, feeling caught between communities, or struggling with a sense of belonging. My goal is to help you develop a stronger sense of identity and navigate family and relationship dynamics to build a life that aligns with both your values and lived experience.

Racial identity is not only shaped by the challenges you face, but also by the stories, traditions, and communities that have carried generations forward. Whether you're exploring questions of belonging, navigating discrimination, or reconnecting with your cultural roots, I offer a space to honor the fullness of your experience. Let's uncover the stories and values that have shaped your family and community and draw from that wisdom to build a deeper connection to who you are.

I understand that queer identity can bring both joy and challenges as we navigate the current sociopolitical battlefield. In therapy, we'll explore the messages you've received about yourself from family, culture, relationships, and society, while making space for a more compassionate and authentic understanding of who you are. My goal is to help you develop a sense of self-worth that is rooted in pride and self-acceptance, so that your true self will always persevere.
