I know you’re tired.

You’ve worked endlessly on yourself. You’ve checked all the boxes society told you were important. You’ve read the self-help books and tried to become the best version of yourself. And yet, if someone asked what you wanted for dinner, you might freeze—or immediately turn the question back to them.

Together, we untangle what you were taught to believe from what you actually believe, want, and value. We make room for the parts of you that may have been pushed aside in order to belong. And we work toward helping you trust yourself enough to make choices that feel like yours, so you can build a life that feels more alive, aligned, and like you.

The goal isn’t to become a “better” version of yourself. It’s to become more connected to yourself—to know what you want, trust what you feel, and build a life that feels like your own. The real you.

I use evidence-based approaches grounded in neuroscience, with deep respect for culture, identity, and lived experience. My work is relational, honest, and rooted in empathy. Therapy is a place where you don’t have to perform, please, explain, or have it all figured out.

This is a space for you to be you—even if you don’t exactly know who that is yet.

If you’re ready to start figuring that out, I’d be honored to support you.

I’m a first-generation immigrant kid who knows what it’s like to work tirelessly toward a dream that, unbeknownst to me, was never fully my own. I grew up believing that expressing your feelings could get in the way of success, and that honoring the traditions and expectations of my community mattered more than listening to myself.

So I did what I thought I was supposed to do. I committed to my church. I married a wonderful person. I pursued a dream job. And all the while, I was suppressing just how exhausted I really was.

Until I couldn’t anymore.

With the support of therapy, I was forced to ask a question I had spent much of my life avoiding: What do I actually want?

Slowly, I learned how to choose myself.

I love working with people who are ready to do that, too.

I specialize in working with people who have spent years becoming who they were told they should be—good, successful, responsible, selfless, faithful—only to realize they’ve lost touch with themselves. Many of my clients are navigating religious trauma, identity loss, disconnection from their bodies, or the space between their family’s culture and who they are becoming.
