When you’re feeling adrift, how do you land back into a meaningful life?
Navigate what’s happening inside you with compassionate therapy
Hashing out your identity, purpose, and sense of belonging can be challenging, particularly for those in marginalized communities such as immigrants and first-generation individuals. I offer a safe space to unpack and reflect on your shifting identities, family dynamics, and evolving desires. With comprehensive guided sessions, you’ll access a renewed confidence with strategies to help you cope no matter what life throws at you.
Being a human can be complicated, and we all need space to process what we are feeling and how we want to react to those feelings. I know it’s tough to make a choice when you have so many options. Even though I can’t decide for you, I’ll do my best to help you gain some clarity. You might feel like no one understands what you’ve been through, but if you choose to share your story with me, I promise I’ll do my best to hear it.
If you’re curious about trading your outdated, limiting narratives for a life you truly trust, we might be a perfect fit.
I work with adults struggling with
Self Esteem & Identity
Curb self-abandonment and learn to present yourself with confidence.
Anxiety & Depression
Reduce rumination and catastrophizing to feel more at home in your body and mind.
Family & Life Transitions
Address your top of mind worries and build a toolbox of coping mechanisms.
Mood Disorders
Manage crises and break through walls to align your actions with your values.
How therapy can help you
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on the psychological roots of emotional suffering. Its hallmarks are self-reflection and self-examination, and the use of the relationship between therapist and patient as a window into problematic relationship patterns in the patient’s life. Its goal is not only to alleviate the most obvious symptoms but to help people lead healthier lives (“The Efficacy of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy,” Jonathan K. Shedler, PhD, University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine; American Psychologist, Vol. 65. No.2.)
