(she/her)
I show up by lived experience, cultural humility, and a deep respect for the therapy relationship. I help clients explore patterns, meaning, and emotional experiences in a safe, collaborative space. I believe healing happens when people feel understood, empowered, and free to grow at their own pace. I see therapy as a collaborative process, one that honors resilience, complexity, and the client’s capacity for healing.
In our first sessions, you can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental space focused on understanding your concerns, your story, and your goals. We’ll move at your pace, build trust, and begin exploring patterns and experiences that shape how you relate to yourself and others.
My strengths as a therapist include deep emotional attunement, authentic presence, and the ability to hold complexity without rushing change. I approach clients with cultural humility and a non-pathologizing lens, creating a safe, collaborative space for reflection, insight, and growth.
I specialize in supporting individuals navigating maternal mental health, specifically during the perinatal period, first-generation experiences, college students, acculturation stress, life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief, and family conflict, with a focus on healing, resilience, and personal growth. I enjoy supporting individuals who are seeking healing, emotional balance, stronger relationships, and a deeper understanding of themselves during challenging seasons of life.

Person-centered (Rogerian)
I integrate Person-Centered therapy is grounded in the idea that people heal when they feel deeply understood, accepted, and not judged, which mirrors what often makes therapy feel safe and transformative for clients and therapists alike.
Psychodynamic
Psychodynamic looks beneath behaviors and diagnoses to unconscious patterns, early attachment, loss, trauma, and relational templates.
