I am a compassionate therapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges and find healing and growth. I understand the complexities of living in a culture different from one's own, which informs my approach to therapy. I serve adult clients facing issues such as depression, anxiety, low mood, familial problems, interpersonal challenges, and self-discovery. In addition to English, I am proficient in various different languages, allowing me to provide culturally sensitive and linguistically tailored support to a diverse range of clients.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we'll introduce ourselves and delve into your specific concerns, laying the foundation for a personalized treatment plan. I believe in the power of healing and resilience and am committed to helping you achieve stability and transformation.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
What sets me apart is my multicultural perspective and experience in addressing issues like anxiety, depression, systemic oppression, trauma, communication, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, grief, loss, and life transitions, especially within the context of cultural identity.

My ideal clients are adults seeking support and transformation in their lives. They share a desire for personal growth and are willing to explore new ways of thinking and behaving to overcome their challenges.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I regularly use Solution Focused Brief Therapy in my practice to help clients identify their strengths and build on what’s already working in their lives. With a focus on short-term, goal-oriented change, SFBT allows me to support clients in creating practical solutions rather than dwelling extensively on problems. I ask targeted, future-focused questions—like the “miracle question” and scaling questions—to help clients clarify their goals, recognize their own resources, and envision a preferred future. This method is especially effective for clients who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or are looking for fast, meaningful progress in a specific area of life. SFBT aligns with my belief that clients are the experts in their own lives and often have untapped strengths they can use to create change. I’ve seen this approach work well with individuals, couples, and even in brief therapy settings such as EAPs or school counseling.
Integrative
In my practice, I use an integrative therapy approach, which means I thoughtfully combine elements from various therapeutic models to create a holistic and personalized experience for each client. Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all method, I integrate techniques from modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, psychodynamic therapy, and somatic approaches, depending on the client’s goals, background, and preferences. My integrative style allows for a more comprehensive understanding of a client’s emotional, psychological, and even physical experience. For example, I may use CBT to address distorted thinking patterns, psychodynamic exploration to understand root causes, and mindfulness techniques to support self-regulation in the present moment. This flexibility ensures that therapy remains collaborative and adaptive. It’s especially helpful for clients working through complex concerns like trauma, anxiety, identity exploration, or relational dynamics. At the core, my integrative approach is grounded in compassion, cultural sensitivity, and a commitment to honoring the whole person.
Eclectic
I take an eclectic approach to therapy, meaning I draw from a variety of evidence-based methods to best meet the unique needs, goals, and preferences of each client. Rather than sticking to one rigid framework, I blend techniques from modalities like CBT, mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed practices depending on what resonates most with the client. This approach allows me to stay flexible and responsive. For example, I might use CBT strategies to challenge unhelpful thought patterns, incorporate mindfulness for emotion regulation, and draw on narrative or psychodynamic insights when exploring deeper personal themes. My goal is to co-create a therapy experience that feels personalized, effective, and aligned with each client’s journey. I find that the eclectic method helps build a strong therapeutic alliance and fosters growth by meeting people where they are—emotionally, mentally, and practically.
