My Approach
I am deeply passionate about helping individuals navigate life's transitions and rediscover their sense of purpose and identity. With a focus on immigrants and those facing acculturation-related stress, multicultural work environments, family restructuring, and productivity challenges, I offer a safe and nurturing space to explore the complexities of life's journey.
My approach is grounded in person-centered therapy, recognizing that each individual is unique, with their own set of experiences, values, and goals. By tailoring our sessions to your hobbies, personality, and preferences, we can create a collaborative and empowering environment that fosters growth, self-discovery, and resilience.
Whether you're grappling with anxiety, depression, or a sense of disconnection from your authentic self, I am here to listen without judgment, provide compassionate support, and guide you towards a path of healing and self-acceptance. I believe in the power of self-exploration and am committed to helping you uncover your inner strength and resources, so that you can navigate life's challenges with confidence and grace.
I offer free consultations to ensure a good fit, as I believe that trust and rapport are essential for a successful therapeutic journey. Together, we can embark on a transformative experience, where you'll rediscover your passion for life and cultivate a deeper connection with your authentic self.
