Provider information

Description

Are you feeling anxious or depressed, having negative or self-critical thoughts, or facing the unique challenges of being an immigrant? As an immigrant myself, I understand the complexities and emotions that come with adjusting to a new culture and country. This lived experience informs my compassionate and therapeutic approach.
