My Ideal Client

Your worries are draining you of time and energy. The life you want seems out of reach. You forget to take care of yourself because you’re so busy taking care of others. You feel misunderstood or isolated because of cultural issues. You want to work with a therapist who will listen deeply and holistically, who respects your identities and perspectives, and also collaborates with you to take your next steps in healing.

My Approach to Helping

I help people change their relationship with anxiety and self-doubt by guiding them to address the roots of the problem. By focusing on the past and the present as well as working to uncover more of your emotions and needs, we can better understand how things got stuck and empower you to chart a new path forward.

Why I Became a Therapist

I long found that people felt safe confiding in me. I became a therapist because it felt natural to me. I also get inspired by the strength and wisdom of my patients as well as my peers and mentors. I feel fortunate to do this work; to help improve the quality of people's lives.
