Find Your Counselor

I understand that seeking therapy can feel like a big step, and I want to meet you where you are. With over three years of experience, my goal is to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. I deeply value the connections I make with my clients and believe that personal growth happens when you feel safe to explore your feelings, challenges, and aspirations. While not every therapist will be the right fit for everyone, my commitment is to walk alongside you and help you find the tools you need to move forward, whether you’re facing a specific challenge or simply seeking personal growth. Together, we can work toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

You are the author of your own life. Sometimes, the story gets confusing. I'm here to partner with you in better understanding yourself, where you are, and where you want to be. For me, the therapeutic relationship is foundational for success, and ours will be built on safety, trust, and compassion. I take an integrative and client-centered approach to counseling, tailoring my methods to suit your unique needs and preferences. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions openly. While proficient in several modalities, I specialize in anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma. I help my clients build resilience through self-compassion, develop coping skills, and ultimately foster healthier relationships with themselves and those around them. I hold a Master's of Science in Education (MSEd) in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. Bonaventure University and have worked with clients from all walks of life, ages, and diverse reasons for seeking counseling.

I am deeply committed to fostering a safe, trauma-informed, and therapeutic space where clients feel empowered to embrace their most authentic selves. I believe in the innate resilience of people, recognizing that even in the face of adversity, there exists an incredible capacity for growth and transformation. The boundless possibility of healing is at the core of my work, and I approach each client with empathy, understanding, and genuine curiosity about their lived experiences. My role is to witness and support each individual’s unique journey, no matter what shape it takes, honoring the highs, lows, and everything in between. As Carl Rogers so eloquently said, "A person is a fluid process, not a fixed and static entity; a flowing river of change, not a fixed quantity of traits." This belief inspires me to meet clients where they are, holding space for their ongoing evolution and helping them navigate the complexities of their personal path with compassion and hope.

While therapy can feel intimidating or uncomfortable, it is my priority to create a safe environment where clients can feel authentically themselves. I approach the therapeutic process as walking alongside you as we work toward the areas you feel are most important to you. I value warmth, genuineness, empathy, learning, and our relationship as the most essential components of therapy. From my experiences working with adults, I have witnessed the capabilities of therapy and the unwavering resilience of humans. You deserve to live a life free of the weights you carry. If you are willing to have me by your side, I would be honored to support you.

Every story holds a sacred significance, intricately woven with the threads of culture, heritage, and personal history. As an Asian-American therapist, I understand the importance of representation in therapy and strive to bring this perspective to my practice. Life's journey is full of inevitable ups and downs, and my commitment is to explore and honor these unique aspects of your story, recognizing their profound impact on the present moment. My therapeutic approach is centered on meeting you where you are in your journey. I employ a person-centered and trauma-informed framework, ensuring that our work together is guided by empathy, understanding, and respect. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where vulnerability, authenticity, and compassion are not only welcomed but celebrated as essential components of our journey together. I have experience working with a diverse range of clients, from children as young as five to adults. My academic background includes a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's in Counseling, both from Regis University. This foundation equips me to support you through various challenges, whether you're navigating cultural identity, managing life transitions, or healing from trauma.If you're ready to embrace your story and embark on a transformative journey toward healing and growth, I invite you to reach out. Let's work together to create a path that honors your unique narrative and supports your well-being.

As a dedicated counselor, I guide individuals through the complexities of emotional well-being, relational patterns, and personal growth. My work is rooted in existential philosophy, blending eclectic and trauma-informed approaches to empower clients to explore their authentic selves and navigate life’s challenges with resilience and clarity. I believe in the profound impact of social connectedness on mental health and self-esteem, and I’m passionate about helping clients build relationships that foster trust, empathy, and belonging. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, and I offer compassionate support to those seeking to enhance their connections with themselves and others. Through a strength-based lens, I work collaboratively with clients to embrace vulnerability, acknowledge their unique stories, and empower them to make meaningful lasting change. True growth happens in relationship with others and with oneself.

I have provided therapeutic interventions as an outpatient therapist and crisis counselor for about 7 years. I have worked with people with acute mental health concerns and people with serious and persistent mental health disorders. I have worked with people of diverse backgrounds. In helping clients achieve their mental health goals, I acknowledge and support developing a strong therapeutic relationship with my client to best support my clients in developing awareness and skills needed to achieve the therapeutic goals that you set. I believe in a client-centered approach that focuses on interventions that will work best with each, individual client for the best result.  I understand that people have things that come up in their lives while working on goals and have, and hope to continue to, help my clients learn skills needed to help manage those problems and increase awareness of how they impact my clients' mental health. I will support you in making changes in your mental health when you are ready to begin.

Welcome—So glad you’ve taken this step to be here. It takes courage to explore therapy, and I’m honored you’re considering what it might look like to work together. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and supportive environment where you can process your experiences and begin healing. I work with couples, individuals, and children/adolescents through a trauma-informed framework, tailoring my approach to meet each client’s unique needs with empathy and care. Together, we’ll work toward developing healthier ways of thinking, relating, and functioning—so you no longer feel stuck.

I believe everyone should have access to counseling and the opportunity to feel truly seen, heard, and supported. With experience working with children, adults, individuals living with substance use, and those impacted by social injustice, I bring a person-centered, solution-focused, and trauma-informed approach to every interaction. My lived experience deepens my empathy, while cultural humility keeps me grounded and open to continual learning. It’s a privilege to walk alongside others on their path to healing and empowerment.

Welcome! Therapy is about having a good "fit" that can blossom into a great therapeutic relationship. A therapist who is willing to listen while working alongside a client is essential. Treatment often sounds very clinical; however, I encourage you to remember that the goals and objectives of treatment are intended to be collaborative and client-directed. Therapists are not meant to "fix" people but are called to be catalysts of change through which the client navigates their circumstances. As an eclectic and integrative therapist, my role is to listen and provide options for treatment approaches that fit your needs in a safe, comfortable, and supportive atmosphere. I look forward to being a part of your team.
