You understand why you struggle in relationships, yet the same patterns keep showing up. You may overthink, struggle with trust, avoid vulnerability, shut down during conflict, become emotionally overwhelmed, or feel caught between wanting closeness and fearing it. I help individuals and couples heal the impact of trauma, strengthen emotional regulation, and create healthier, more secure relationships through a holistic approach that integrates EMDR, somatic therapy, attachment work, and mindfulness.

Treatment Approach
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
- Multicultural Therapy Acknowledges the role of culture, race, and identity in mental health. It values diversity and adapts treatment to each person’s background.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Relational Psychotherapy Emphasizes the healing power of the therapist-client relationship. It uses trust and safety as a foundation for change.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.
Approach Description: I believe healing happens when we feel safe enough to understand ourselves with curiosity rather than judgment. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in the understanding that trauma affects the mind, body, emotions, and relationships. I integrate EMDR, somatic therapy, attachment work, EFT, and mindfulness to help clients heal underlying patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, and create healthier, more secure ways of relating to themselves and others.

You may understand why you struggle, yet still find yourself reacting in ways you wish you could change.
Perhaps you overthink relationships, seek reassurance, have difficulty trusting others, avoid vulnerability, pull away when emotions become overwhelming, lose yourself in caring for others, or feel caught between wanting connection and fearing it. Despite your best efforts, the same challenges keep showing up.
Often, these responses developed for a reason. What once helped you stay connected, protected, or emotionally safe may now be contributing to anxiety, conflict, self-doubt, emotional disconnection, or recurring relationship difficulties. I specialize in helping individuals and couples heal the impact of trauma on relationships, attachment patterns, emotional regulation, and self-worth so they can develop healthier, more secure ways of relating.
My approach is holistic, trauma-informed, and grounded in the understanding that healing involves more than insight alone. Drawing from EMDR, somatic therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment-based therapy, and mindfulness, I help clients create meaningful, lasting change in both their lives and relationships.
I believe therapy should honor the whole person. Our relationships, family experiences, culture, identity, and life circumstances all influence how we see ourselves and connect with others. As a first-generation immigrant, I understand the complexity of balancing personal needs, family expectations, cultural values, and identity. This perspective informs my work while allowing me to support clients from diverse backgrounds with curiosity, respect, and cultural sensitivity. I also work with family conflict and provide family therapy when appropriate to support healthier communication and connection.
My goal is to help you feel more grounded within yourself, more secure in your relationships, and more confident in your ability to create the life and connections you want.
Taking the first step can feel overwhelming. I offer a free consultation where we can talk about what brings you here, answer any questions you may have, and explore whether working together feels like the right fit.
