My communication style

I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment.

My journey to mental healthcare

Coming from an immigrant family myself, I have always deeply shared my values and passion for this work. I understand firsthand the complexities of navigating multiple cultures, systems, and expectations. My background includes experience as a school social worker, case manager, child protection, trauma specialist, outpatient therapist, and mentor.

My goals for you

We’ll go at your pace. My role is to support you, as you’re always in control of what you share. We’ll practice coping tools in session, and you can try them during the week. We’ll notice what works and adjust together.

Our first session

Gathering bio-psychosocial intake information and understanding what your goals are in therapy to ensure that this would be an ideal fit.
