Let's face it: managing your mental health is difficult, and supporting a loved one is even more complicated. As an immigrant, I have witnessed firsthand the trauma, uncertainty, and shame that comes with asking for help from others, especially if you receive neither acknowledgement nor acceptance. I understand how challenging it can be not to know where to turn, let alone who to turn to. It takes strength to be resilient and courageous enough to seek assistance. I'm here to assist and guide you as you go on this self-discovery adventure
My diverse approach creates a welcoming, empathetic environment that is culturally competent and aware of social conditioning. There is no one-size-fits-all approach; instead, I employ a flexible and inclusive therapeutic approach that incorporates techniques from Solution-Focused, Motivational Interviewing, DBT, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
If you're ready to dive into therapy and need help dealing with life's challenges, let me help you create a safe space where you can strengthen your connections with others while developing strong coping skills and self-compassion. I am happy to provide a free 15-minute phone consultation to discuss your goals and hopes.
