We will unpack why you feel like you always have to be the responsible one. We’ll look at how your background shaped you and find ways for your body to feel more at peace. We’ll practice saying “no” without the shame and reclaim your energy. After our first session, we will decide on the best steps forward to help you finally start choosing yourself.

My clients describe me as real, patient, and easy to talk to. They often say I’m the first person who didn’t just look at them as a "problem to fix," but as someone navigating a heavy world. They feel lighter after we work through old memories together and appreciate that I help them find their own voice while keeping their body feeling calm and steady.

I grew up in a world where we didn’t talk about our struggles, we just pushed through. I wanted to help our community break that silence and realize that the weight we carry isn't always our fault. I’m here to show you that choosing yourself is a powerful way to reclaim your peace, find your voice, and build a stronger future for us all.

I’ve been a therapist since 2015 and bring the lived experience of being the eldest daughter of immigrants. I know the heavy weight of being the family "fixer." My virtual practice makes it easy to fit deep healing into your busy life. We’ll work together to turn that energy back toward you, helping you move from handling it all to finally thriving.
