My Therapy Specialties
Anxiety is not random—it is a signal. Often, it reflects emotions, wishes, or internal conflicts that are trying to come into awareness but feel too overwhelming or threatening to experience fully.
When these feelings are kept out of consciousness, the mind relies on defenses, and anxiety can emerge as a result.
In therapy, we will work together to understand what your anxiety may be protecting you from. Rather than simply reducing symptoms, our focus will be on helping you safely access and process the underlying emotions driving your experience.
Over time, this deeper understanding can reduce the intensity of anxiety and allow you to feel more grounded, integrated, and in control of your inner world.
There are no words that can take away the pain of grief—and I won’t pretend there are. Instead, I offer a space where you don’t have to face that pain alone.
Together, we will sit with the darkness, gently exploring how your life and sense of self have been altered by loss. Grief is not something to “fix,” but something to understand, to carry, and—over time—to integrate.
In our work, we will look at how grief shows up in your daily life, how it shapes your relationships and identity, and how meaning can slowly emerge from even the most profound loss. This process is not about moving on, but about finding a way to move forward while honoring what has been lost.
As an immigrant therapist myself, I understand both the grief and the pride that come with leaving one world to survive in another. This experience is often layered and complex—carrying loss alongside resilience.
When I sit with other immigrants, I often recognize the unspoken weight we share: displacement, guilt, cultural loyalty, isolation, confusion, and the quiet loneliness of feeling as if you belong everywhere and nowhere at once.
In our work together, there is space for all of it—your story, your identity, and the parts of you that may feel unseen or difficult to express.
