As a licensed psychotherapist, I’ve dedicated my work to helping people navigate the unique challenges they face in life.
One concern that comes up often is the fear of failure. Many high-achieving individuals carry immense pressure to succeed, in academics, careers, and relationships. That pressure can feel paralyzing at times, making it difficult to take risks or pursue what truly matters to them. Together, I work with patients to untangle these fears and find more freedom in their choices.
I also support those who are navigating complex family dynamics and cultural expectations. For some, traditions and values from their upbringing may not always align with the world they’re living in today. This can create tension or conflict, especially when it comes to important decisions around careers or relationships. My goal is to create a supportive space where these challenges can be explored with care and compassion.
What I do
“Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength.”
Before making New York City my home, I lived, studied, and worked in different parts of the world. These experiences shaped not only who I am but also how I understand the struggles many people face when adapting to new environments or balancing the expectations of multiple cultures. Whether it’s the sense of isolation that can come with relocation, navigating family expectations, or feeling caught between identities, I know how complex and challenging these experiences can be.
I believe that mental health is an essential part of overall well-being, and that therapy is a powerful space for healing, growth, and transformation. I am deeply committed to helping reduce the stigma around mental health and to creating a safe, welcoming place where conversations about emotional well-being can happen openly.
Over the years, I’ve supported people in many different settings, from volunteering on a crisis hotline, to working as a school counselor in an at-risk high school, to serving as a clinician in a community health center. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the wide range of challenges people carry with them, and the courage it takes to reach out for support.
In my private practice today, I bring this diverse perspective to every session. Above all, my goal is to meet you where you are, with compassion, understanding, and respect for your unique journey.
