My communication style

My communication style is warm, empathetic, and down-to-earth. I aim to create a collaborative and non-judgmental environment where clients feel comfortable expressing themselves freely. Clients often describe working with me as feeling supported, seen, and empowered, with a mix of thoughtful reflection and humor.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist was inspired by my own experiences navigating life's challenges and recognizing the power of meaningful support. Growing up in a bicultural household, I saw firsthand the impact of generational trauma and the need for culturally sensitive healing.

My goals for you

I primarily look to you to take the lead because this is your journey. You came to therapy with things you want to work on, and I honor that by creating a space where your goals take center stage. While I provide insight and collaborate with you to make suggestions, I ultimately believe you are the expert on your life.

Our first session

In our first session, we will take the time to explore what brought you to therapy and begin understanding your story. I will ask questions about your background, current challenges, and goals to ensure we're on the same page about how we can work together. My focus is on making you feel comfortable and safe.
