Great to meet you!

I am a licensed psychologist who is passionate about working with marginalized populations. I also have extensive experience working with high-achieving professionals to support their mental health and life transition issues. Working with individuals with diverse backgrounds and learning from different worldviews has been a rewarding experience in my clinical work. I offer both in-person (Wed & Sat) and teletherapy sessions (weekday morning and evening hours).

A bit about my approach to therapy

I am trained in using an integrative approach with an emphasis on psychodynamic perspectives to guide you move beyond the surface level and explore deeper into your internal world. I use a neutral, warm and nonjudgmental stance to understand you and your presenting concerns. We will examine past experience and current events together to support you and expand your perspectives and "tool box" to cope with stress.

What you can expect from our first session

I believe the therapeutic relationship is the foundation of good therapy. I work collaboratively with you to create a safe space for deeper self-exploration. While the presenting issues can be heavy, we will work together to find the "playfulness" in the therapeutic process. I want to support and challenge you to increase insight to apply in your life.
