Do you wish your life had a clearer sense of direction? Have you been feeling stuck, uncertain, unmotivated, and overwhelmed by complex emotions? Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or another mental health disorder?

Maybe you’re in the midst of a major life transition—such as divorce, a career change, or adapting to a new culture—and you wish you had more guidance and support. Perhaps you want to learn practical strategies for understanding your emotional patterns and fostering greater resilience as you adjust to new realities.

If this is the case, I am confident I can help. As a bilingual therapist who brings a cross-cultural, goal-oriented approach to counseling, I specialize in supporting people who want to bring stability and insight into their lives and gain real-life tools for handling whatever life throws their way.

Therapy with me focuses on logic, reflection, and clarity. Using principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help people shift their thinking, interrupt negative cycles, and make goal-directed choices. I provide psychoeducation about clients’ thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, teaching them to recognize emotional themes and identify their triggers. From this place of increased awareness, my clients can respond to life from a stabler and more empowered place.

If you choose to work with me, you can expect a grounded, structured approach that is culturally-sensitive, logic-based, and rooted in the belief that you have the ability to change your life. My goal is to equip you with the tools and skills to successfully manage your challenges both inside and outside of therapy sessions. This way, you can become more confident and self-directed in your journey toward healing and growth.

I truly believe that tomorrow can be better than yesterday—and therapy is the best place to cultivate that sense of hope.
