Treatment Philosphy
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s from USC. I’ve trained at some of the best institutions, including an intensive workshop in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD at UPenn and was intensively trained at Harbor UCLA.
But beyond the letters after my name, I’m someone who gets it. I’ve navigated my own mental health journey, balanced different cultural expectations, and know firsthand the challenges of being a high achiever in a world that’s always demanding more.
When I’m not in session, you might find me trying out a new recipe, at a concert, or spending quality time with my loved ones and dogs.
Our Values
Whether you’re a young professional navigating the working world, a student balancing academic pressures with anxiety/OCD, or someone simply trying to find peace in a chaotic world, know this: Your experiences are valid.
Your struggles are real. And your potential for growth and happiness is limitless.
In our work together, we won’t just focus on alleviating symptoms. We’ll dig deep, examining the roots of your challenges, celebrating your cultural strengths, and building a toolkit that empowers you long after our sessions end.
This is more than therapy. It’s a partnership in your journey towards authenticity, resilience, and joy.
In a world that often pressures us to fit in, I believe in the power of being unapologetically you. Our work together is a safe space to explore and embrace your true self, cultural identity included.
Therapy isn't about dependency; it's about equipping you with the tools to become your own healer. My goal is to work myself out of a job by empowering you to face life's challenges with confidence.
Science and empathy aren't mutually exclusive. I blend rigorous, proven therapeutic techniques with genuine understanding and warmth. Your healing is too important for guesswork.
Your cultural background isn't just acknowledged—it's a vital part of your treatment. We'll tap into your heritage as a source of strength and wisdom in your healing journey.
Your identity is multifaceted. As a therapist who navigates multiple cultural worlds, I recognize how various aspects of your identity intersect and influence your mental health journey.
I believe in accepting ourselves while also challenging the status quo. Together, we'll work on embracing who you are while pushing back against harmful societal expectations.
