My communication style

My communication style is interactive and personal, involving active listening, empathy, and an effort to build rapport. I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. If we're working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.

My journey to mental healthcare

My therapy journey began with a deep curiosity about human behavior and the desire to help others find strength through life’s hardest moments. I come from a large immigrant family that taught me the value of compassion, resilience, and a deep sense of responsibility for others.

My goals for you

I believe that therapy is a collaborative partnership. Together, we’ll identify and set goals that matter to you, whether they focus on improving relationships, building self-esteem, or another personal objective.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We’ll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. We'll focus on discussing your current emotional state and potential needs. I'll be asking questions to better understand who you are and what you are going through.
