I hold a profound belief in the inherent wisdom, resilience, and self-actualization potential within every individual. With a compassionate, client-centered and trauma-informed approach, my goal is to cultivate a safe, authentic, and non-judgmental environment where clients can embark on their personal journey of healing, growth, and self-discovery. My areas of expertise encompass childhood and intergenerational trauma, attachment and inner child work, family and relationship issues, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, anger management, self-harm, self-esteem, gender identity, and coping with life transitions.
With my background as both an international student and an immigrant, I have a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by individuals experiencing migration and acculturation. I am committed to providing culturally sensitive counseling service that integrate Eastern philosophy with Western psychotherapy modalities for most effective treatment plans
As a dedicated mother of three, I have first-hand experiences with motherhood, child development, family dynamics, and parenting. I am committed to supporting families through transitions while strengthening their relationships. I also advocate for social justice and equity. Your well-being is my priority. I am here to support you every step of the way.

My approach is characterized by warmth, authenticity, and creativity. I believe that therapy doesn't always have to be limited to sitting and talking. My sessions are enriched with a variety of creative and enjoyable activities, including drawing, writing, role play, psychodrama, sand tray, somatic movements, etc. I tailor my treatment approach to meet the unique needs of each individual client.
