About my approach

My style is warm, collaborative, playful, and culturally informed. I take time to know you as an individual or couple and tailor the work to what will be most beneficial. We’ll use your existing strengths and honor cultural beliefs to create positive change that aligns with your values.

What clients say

Clients say I help them notice patterns that lead to change, ask thoughtful questions, and bring authenticity into the therapy space—so growth feels both safe and practical.

Guiding idea / Point of therapy

Therapy helps you build and sustain healthy relationships for a fulfilling life—by fostering resilience and practicing tools that fit your values.

Tools & frameworks I use

Family Systems • Narrative Therapy • Polyvagal-Informed • Gottman

What you can expect in a session with me

We’ll clarify what matters most and practice communication tools you can use at home. Expect a mix of collaborative problem-solving, strengths-based strategies, and culturally mindful reflection—whether we’re supporting you as an individual, couple, or family.

If you’re nervous to start…

Trying something new is always scary. We’ll move at a pace that feels right and make therapy a space where you can explore, practice, and grow.

A belief that shapes my work

“Stories are powerful… but gather too many of the words of others in your heart, and they will drown out your.” — Zeyn Joukhadar, The Map of Salt and Stars

Outside of therapy you’ll find me…

Baking, reading, and being a tourist in my own city. I value authenticity and connection—in life and in therapy.
