I approach therapy through a non-pathologizing, trauma-informed, and harm reduction lens and understand that the client is the expert of their own experience. I view the clinical relationship as a tool for healing.
Identify what you value, what fulfills you, and what gives you a sense of purpose. From there, we will figure out what you can do to build the life (including the kind of relationships) you want.

By helping you understand how you came to think, feel, and behave as you do now, we can cultivate self-acceptance, harness your strengths, develop effective coping skills, and help you live in a way that is congruent with your own values and goals.
Together, we will have the opportunity to explore your relationships, be it with your partner(s), children, other family members, and friends. We will explore your relationship to mental health, your values, and any other goals you have for therapy.

Many of my clients are the children of immigrants, like myself. I enjoy helping people explore their own culture and gaining a better sense of their values. I understand how cultural issues can impact mental health and I have ways to help.
