I’m a licensed therapist (LMSW) in New York State who works with adolescents and adults. Growing up in the US as the child of immigrants, I developed a deep respect for how our identities and cultures influence how we connect with others, ourselves, and the institutions around us. Those experiences helped me understand the importance of feeling a sense of belonging, safety, and connection - both within ourselves and in our relationships. As a therapist, I practice from a relational and culturally responsive framework to build a similar sense of belonging, safety, and connection within each session.

My approach integrates relational psychotherapy, attachment theory, and psychodynamic therapy to support a felt sense of healing and safety in the body. This work can be especially powerful when addressing the impacts of trauma.

Many of the individuals I work with are navigating multiple identities, family expectations, and often feel like they’re too much of one thing and not enough of another. Many grow up existing between different worlds, competing expectations, and between the person who others want them to be and who they are.

In addition to my work in private practice, I have worked in outpatient mental health clinics and school-based settings. I have extensive experience supporting individuals untangling complex relationship and family dynamics, moving through major life changes, breaking generational patterns, and making sense of who they’ve been and who they are becoming.

Transformative change often occurs when we can reconnect with our own internal wisdom. I strive to create a space where my clients can rebuild trust in their own intuition and feel safe, understood, and seen. If you are interested in seeing if we would be a good fit, I welcome you to reach out.
