Life is full of unexpected twists, and sometimes those changes leave lasting emotional imprints. As a therapist, I specialize in helping individuals navigate complex trauma—whether it stems from abuse as a child, betrayal, extramarital affairs, medical trauma, job loss, or other life-altering experiences. I also work extensively with anxiety, supporting clients through childhood anxiety, life transitions, and feelings of abandonment.

My approach is rooted in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helping clients develop actionable steps toward healing. I also incorporate Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, focusing on distress tolerance and emotional regulation to create balance in daily life.

I became a therapist because I saw how our fast-paced society doesn't always allow space to process pain, uncertainty, and change. Too often, people are expected to push forward without acknowledging their emotions, leading to coping mechanisms that can affect every aspect of life. My goal is to create a supportive environment where you can normalize your feelings, gain clarity, and develop the strength to navigate life's challenges with confidence.

I am a first-generation immigrant, and my family's experience navigating health and well-being through hardship inspired me to pursue a career in healthcare. These experiences shaped my commitment to providing compassionate, culturally sensitive care.

I focus on medication management for conditions such as anxiety, depression, and trauma-related disorders. My approach is collaborative and patient-centered. I work with each individual to develop treatment plans that are both effective and realistic for daily life, with an emphasis on education and shared decision-making so patients feel informed, empowered, and supported.

I believe mental health is closely influenced by our daily routines. When appropriate, I support patients in building small, sustainable habits, such as improving sleep, incorporating movement, and strengthening social connections, to enhance overall well-being.

I earned my degrees in Neuroscience and Biological Sciences from the University of Southern California and completed my Physician Assistant training, along with a Master of Public Health, at Touro University California.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time in nature through hiking, creating nutrient-rich versions of traditional family recipes, and gardening, an activity that helps me slow down and stay present.
