I come from a background that includes both privilege and trauma.

Especially as the spouse of an immigrant and a descendant of immigrants myself.

I stepped away from governmental and school settings into private practice so I could treat people as they deserve — with respect, compassion, and the utmost care. This world is shaped by the transmission of trauma and adversity across generations, often reinforced by systems of oppression in the very organizations meant to help. I wanted to create a space where healing felt possible again. It is important to me to welcome people from all walks of life into my practice. Your religion, spirituality or lack thereof is welcome. Humans of any culture, age, gender, ability or sexual orientation are welcome. I strive to be an ally for marginalized populations, including immigrants and members of the LGBTQIA+ population.

I’ve been delighted to add clinical supervision to my practice because I value the ethical development of new therapists. Since our education and socialization as therapists is shaped by colonialism, we are often taught to pathologize, categorize, and judge the humans we serve. It is deeply important to me to guide developing clinicians in a way that is clinically astute, person-centered, and non-pathologizing. Watching them become the agents of change they were designed to be — often while navigating their own healing journeys — is one of my greatest joys.

I offer psychological evaluations in support of immigration cases because I highly value safety and justice. It is hard enough to migrate to a new country and build a new life. Legal obstacles to Residency and Citizenship add yet another barrier. Supporting people in their pursuit of a safer, more stable life is deeply meaningful to me.

I opened my practice to provide high-quality, person-centered, non-pathologizing care that honors the whole human.

Sometimes we succeed in many areas of life while continually struggling in another. Maybe you’ve achieved a lot at work and find your personal relationships are where things fall apart. Perhaps you compare yourself to others and feel as though you’re on an inferior level of humanity, or you’re ready to take your performance to the next level but find imposter syndrome holding you back.

You may recognize a tendency toward unhealthy relationship patterns, or wonder if you are too broken to ever find or forge a loving, lasting connection with a committed partner or spouse. Parents often come to me exhausted from power struggles, baffled by their child or teen’s behaviors, and worried about the impact of intergenerational trauma.

If you’re seeking a psychological evaluation, you may feel the anxiety and confusion that surround the immigration process — the need to provide evidence of invisible emotional wounds while working, raising a family, and navigating life in a new country.

And if you’re a developing therapist, you might be overwhelmed by juggling graduate school, client needs, documentation, BBS requirements, and your own healing, all while trying to find your voice.

What you want is transformation — freedom from the cycles that keep you stuck and a path toward a life that feels grounded, hopeful, and whole.

For many people, old patterns, painful emotions, and confusing relationship dynamics make everyday life feel heavier than it should.

Navigating life can be difficult while experiencing the effects of trauma or adversity.

I bring together years of advanced education, extensive clinical training, and a non-pathologizing, person-centered lens to support every step of your healing journey.
