Trust Your Leap
Welcome. I’m glad you found me. If you’re ready to set stronger boundaries, stop people-pleasing, leave toxic dynamics, communicate your needs, trust your intuition, and finally go after what truly matters to you—I’m here to support you. I offer integral, holistic, and ancestral psychotherapy for emotional support and growth. So much becomes possible when we begin to reclaim our wholeness.
I specialize in working with individuals, couples, families, and children healing from trauma—including family wounding, betrayal, and compulsive behaviors such as porn addiction. These struggles often have deep roots in early experiences and systemic patterns, leaving us feeling reactive, disconnected, or burdened by shame.
Clients who find me are often at a turning point—grappling with self-doubt, navigating painful family dynamics, or stuck in relationships that no longer serve them. Some are immigrants or adult children of immigrants, carrying stories of survival, silence, and resilience. Others are high-functioning, sensitive individuals who’ve coped by achieving, pleasing, or disconnecting—yet long for something more real and sustainable.
As a multicultural, trauma-informed therapist, I welcome your full story—your complexity, your identities, your pain, and your potential. My style is relational, straightforward, and compassionate. I listen deeply to both what’s spoken and unspoken, honoring the pace your nervous system needs. I work psychodynamically, relationally, and intuitively, integrating family constellations, trauma healing, and emotional and cultural approach.
Whether you’re tending to grief, shame, perfectionism, or long-standing family wounds, our work will support you in reconnecting with your inner wisdom and building a life that reflects who you truly are—not just who you’ve had to be to survive. Clients often describe our work as a turning point—where they finally feel seen, understood, and safe enough to explore even the most painful parts of their story.
As someone who has rebuilt herself through immigration, betrayal, and relational pain, I bring more than clinical training into the therapy room—I bring lived experience. I know what it’s like to carry invisible burdens and still show up for life. My own path of rupture and repair led me to this calling: to help others return to themselves with clarity, compassion, and courage.
If this resonates with you, I invite you to take the first—and often hardest—step. I would be honored to support you on your path toward a more authentic, empowered, and fulfilling life.
