In my work, I believe you are the expert in your own life. I offer the space and support to help you explore deep insight into your strengths, your needs, and what matters most to you. Through my own lived experience, I understand what it can feel like to start over as a newcomer in a foreign place. I hope to support you as you are rebuilding a sense of identity, belonging, and stability, and hold awareness of the many expectations placed on women in our society, especially when navigating work, caregiving, and life transitions.

Treatment Approach
- Gottman Method Couples Therapy Based on decades of research, this method gives couples tools to improve communication, manage conflict, and strengthen intimacy.
- Narrative Therapy Encourages people to view problems as separate from themselves and reframe their life story. It helps build resilience and self-identity.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
Approach Description: I aim to create a collaborative and non-judgmental space where you don’t have to perform or have it all figured out. I blend practical support (like communication tools, boundary-setting, and emotional regulation) with a deeper curiosity about your patterns and relationships.
