I work with adults and couples using a relational approach that emphasizes connection: being seen, heard, and valued for who you are and where you are in your journey. My goal is to create a welcoming, nurturing, non-judgmental space where you feel safe to share your needs and explore the factors and patterns that may be impacting your quality of life. As an immigrant, I am particularly sensitive to the many ways different people show vulnerability, and strive to take multicultural, interpersonal, and contextual factors into account in order to get to know the multiple identities forming our whole selves.

As a child of immigrant parents, I grew up navigating two cultures with often conflicting values. I turned to achievement and ignored my emotions. Although this strategy carried me into adulthood, I lacked a sense of fulfillment and searched for "something more." My healing journey that included therapy, journaling and other practices allowed me to connect with myself and begin to feel authentic joy and contentment. My hope as a therapist is to walk alongside you as you access your internal strength, resiliency, and resources to heal, grow, and make meaning of your life, working toward building feelings of fulfillment and joy.

So often we compromise our own needs to please someone else. We might have learned to do this as children to get along with our parents and family members. As we move into adulthood, this habit stays with us and can cause us to feel lonely, confused, not good enough, and a sense that something important is missing in our lives.

Many of us lead busy lives with little space to breathe, think, and make choices with clarity. We hold ourselves to unsustainable standards in our careers, relationships and as individuals. We move from day to day with anxious thoughts, or float numbly with disconnection and over-scheduling as a way to avoid pain. Often our expectations, goals and circumstances come at the expense of our own healthy well being.
