My therapeutic approach combines elements of the psychoanalytic by looking into one's upbringing combined with practical elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, where then we'll define, measure, and reflect on progress over time.
Growing up as an immigrant who navigated various aspects of cultural differences through the help of some instrumental community members inspired me to combine my backgrounds in education and public service with mental health. We are the result of various factors of our upbringing, and as adults, we are able to identify them and make adjustments to continue to refine ourselves throughout our lives.

I consider it a great honor to bear compassionate witness to my client’s stories and help them make meaning of their experiences in a way that brings healing and restoration. In sessions with me, you can expect to find central themes in your life narrative and explore how your family and cultural systems may be impacting your overall well-being. I can help you identify and challenge the voice of your inner critic and develop more self-compassion.
I use a holistic framework, addressing mind, body, and spirit. Drawing on my experience as a yoga teacher, I offer techniques such as mindfulness and breathwork to deepen the mind/body connection. I help my clients to listen carefully to the messages their bodies are sending them and teach them ways to regulate and soothe their nervous systems. I can also assist clients in exploring their spiritual and religious practice and developing emotionally healthy spirituality.
My professional interests include trauma, identity, spirituality, family roles and transitions, attachment, relational issues, self-esteem, and anxiety. In couples therapy with me, you can expect to develop insight into how your family system, attachment style, and personal values are influencing your current relationship. We will identify and challenge destructive cycles and discover the underlying emotions driving interpersonal conflict.
I am passionate about reducing stigma around mental health issues and providing accessible, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive care in a warm, trusting, and supportive environment.

I believe that the therapy space should be filled with warmth, curiosity – and the safety required to consider taking the risks that go along with change. In sessions, we’ll work alongside each other to explore what stands in the way of your desired personal and relational growth. (What do you need, or need more of, to take the first steps?) Together we’ll consider the roots, present-day triggers, and paths to hope and healing for the struggles you are facing – working cognitively, somatically, and, if desired, spiritually. All faiths and beliefs (including none) are welcome. I provide Christian counseling for clients who wish to explore integrating their faith into therapy.
I work with both individuals and couples, and I’m passionate about helping people explore healthy intimacy within their relationships. This goes beyond simply identifying where and why there is disconnection, to exploring movement towards deeper connection – or reconnection. I also aim to help normalize conversations and education about sex and sexuality. I am a member of the American Counseling Association (ACA), the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT), and the American Board of Christian Sex Therapists (ABCST). I am working under the supervision of Missy Terrell, LMHC.
