Many of us seek supportive relationships and a meaningful life, yet internal distress can stop us from pursuing the life we want. We can become entangled in unhelpful patterns, making it difficult to move forward with what is important to us. I work with individuals grappling with distress related to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and trauma. I help them improve their relationships and build a meaningful life. I also support those who feel overwhelmed and stuck, assisting them in overcoming prolonged cycles of distress.
I have experience working with adults and adolescents in different contexts. Coming from an immigrant background myself, I also have a special insight into working with fellow immigrants and refugees utilizing a trauma informed mindful approach to enhance the treatment.
With a clinical master's degree in social work from The University of Chicago, I have undergone comprehensive training in ACT and DBT. These treatment approaches are effective in improving emotional well-being and increasing a sense of vitality. I am excited to get to know you and encourage you to reach out for a first session.
