"As a therapist and first-generation immigrant, I understand the complexities and challenges that accompany life transitions, family dynamics, and workplace stress. My work has focused on addressing these multifaceted issues, as well as their overall impact on mental health, including workplace challenges and relationship dynamics. This journey has given me the privilege of supporting individuals from diverse and vulnerable populations across various cultural backgrounds. In my practice, I strive to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your unique experiences and emotional challenges at your own pace. Together, we will delve into the deeper layers of your relationships, emotions, and life or career transitions. Whether you are navigating trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, depression, burnout, or family and relationship dynamics, I tailor each session to meet your individual needs and goals. Our work will address both your immediate concerns and underlying patterns, family dynamics, and emotional needs that have shaped your experiences. Using evidence-based therapeutic approaches, I aim to help you reconnect with your inner strengths, heal past wounds, and cultivate greater resilience. I believe in the potential for growth and transformation in every individual. My goal is to empower you to achieve healing, balance, and resilience in all aspects of your life."
