I understand that reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, so I strive to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and never judged. My goal is to meet you where you are and support you in building a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with who you truly are.

I have a very mellow, approachable style, and my main goal is to help my patients reach their goals. Many of the people I work with feel like they haven’t been truly heard before, or that medication was presented as their only option. I take time to listen and make sure you feel comfortable, understood, and involved in your care. I also grew up in an immigrant household, where mental health wasn’t always talked about or seen as an option, and that experience really shaped how I work with my patients today.
