The way I work with clients reflects what I’d want for myself if I were in the other chair. You won’t get canned responses or clinical language that feels hollow. I’m not here to act like a blank slate—I’m a human working with another human. My goal is to create a space that’s real, warm, and grounded in genuine connection. I want you to feel safe, seen, and comfortable showing up exactly as you are.

 

Humor matters to me. It’s one of the things that helps break the tension and bring closeness, especially when we’re talking about heavy things. Sometimes, being able to laugh—at the chaos, at the lemons life keeps throwing your way—makes it easier to breathe, reflect, and move forward. And yes, we’ll try to make your own kind of lemonade, whatever that looks like.

​

If I see you stuck in patterns that are hurting you, I’ll call you out—with compassion, not judgment. I won’t sugarcoat things, but I also won’t leave you alone in them. My intention is always to help you pause, reflect, and maybe find a different path—one that feels more aligned with who you are and what you truly want.

As an immigrant, I understand how deeply culture shapes us. I’m always curious to learn about the customs, values, and experiences that have impacted your world. My background in social work helps me see the bigger picture—the systems around us, the generational patterns, the ways life can press in from all directions. And sometimes, the most powerful thing we can do is pause, reflect on what we’ve been taught to believe, and give ourselves permission to grow beyond it.
