I have been a Marriage and Family Therapist for 12 years and have had extensive training to help people heal from life stressors past and present. I provide a warm empathetic style, that will allow you to dig into areas that might currently create functional impairments.

Whether you are going through a life transition, struggling to cope with the challenges thrown your way, or simply needing a space to feel heard, I enjoy supporting clients in becoming the next version of themselves.

One of the things I have learned as a psychologist is that people usually make more sense than they think they do. The ways we worry, avoid, overthink, stay busy, struggle to sleep, or carry the weight of painful experiences often developed for understandable reasons. Together, we will slow down enough to understand those patterns—not to excuse them, but to help you move beyond them with greater clarity, flexibility, and self-compassion.

As someone who immigrated to the United States, I understand that change often asks us to redefine parts of ourselves while discovering strengths we did not know we had. That experience has deepened my appreciation for resilience, identity, and the many ways people grow throughout their lives.
