We often find ourselves moving forward, searching for the best possible solution to every problem and doing our best to navigate whatever life puts in front of us. Yet sometimes, along the way, we begin to lose touch with ourselves. We become less certain of what we’re feeling and what we truly want. I’ve always been someone who takes time to observe and feel. Rather than rushing toward an answer, I’m more interested in understanding why something happens, where a feeling comes from, and whether even the parts of us that seem contradictory have their own reasons for being.

Our experiences growing up and the cultural backgrounds we come from shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world in different ways. I want to stand alongside you as we explore what these experiences mean to you and how they have shaped the person you are today. I hope we can slow down together and approach what feels confusing or keeps coming up in your life with curiosity rather than judgment. You don’t have to know exactly what’s wrong when you begin, or have everything figured out before coming to therapy.

My approach is warm and collaborative, with an emphasis on insight and self-exploration. I draw from psychodynamic therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you understand your present struggles and how they may connect to your past experiences, relationships, and the way you see yourself. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, self-doubt, or a period in life when you’re unsure of where to go next, we don’t have to rush toward a destination.

We can start where you are.
