About My Clients

I've primarily served individuals navigating life's phases and family dynamics, helping them discover their true selves. I like to focus on family history and emotions while understanding the cultural aspect. I also worked with individuals who have ADHD, anxiety, depression, body issues, and grief. I offer a safe space to work through these challenges.

My Background and Approach

I've been a therapist for 3 years and counting! I can work with individuals who have anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma. I focus on Acceptance and Commitment therapy, teaching about balance in your life and acting in alignment with who you truly are.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe everyone can benefit from therapy because it is about you and your goals. It needs to be a place where you can finally see yourself whole without the world telling you who you are. Therapy can be a journey, as all things need time and effort, but I am here to guide you along the way. I am driven to help my first-generation community, especially when it comes to balancing culture and individual needs. I am passionate about working with adults of immigrant parents and people of color, managing the expectations of the world, parents, and their jobs.
