My practice centers on helping clients navigate diverse emotional landscapes, with specialized expertise in depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. I am deeply committed to creating a supportive, affirming therapeutic environment that honors each person’s unique identity and experiences. My approach integrates evidence-based techniques with a holistic understanding of individual strengths, focusing on empowering clients to develop resilience, self-understanding, and meaningful life strategies. My professional background spans a wide range of focus areas, including workplace challenges, multicultural concerns, life transitions, social anxiety, and interpersonal dynamics. I approach each client’s journey with cultural sensitivity, respect, and a genuine commitment to supporting their personal transformation and healing.
