Therapy Services
A space for you to slow down and reflect at a deeper level
You may be used to functioning at a high level—meeting expectations, managing responsibilities, and continuing to move forward even when something feels off.
Over time, this can begin to feel like burnout, emotional fatigue, or a quiet disconnection from yourself, your relationships, or the life you’ve built.
Therapy offers a space to pause, reflect, and begin to understand these experiences in a more intentional and grounded way.
Who I work with
Many of my clients are thoughtful, self-aware, and used to holding a great deal on their own. Therapy can be a place to begin sharing that weight and making sense of it with care.
I work with individuals and couples who are navigating:
Ongoing stress, pressure, or burnout
High expectations in work or family roles
Cultural identity, belonging, and living across multiple worlds
Relationship patterns that feel difficult to shift
The tension between external success and internal strain
Individual Therapy
For professionals and multicultural individuals navigating stress, identity, and change
Individual therapy offers a space to step outside of ongoing demands and turn toward your internal experience with greater clarity and attention. This may be especially relevant if you are balancing multiple roles, navigating cultural expectations, or experiencing burnout while continuing to function at a high level
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful and self-aware, yet find themselves repeating patterns that feel difficult to shift. Therapy provides an opportunity to understand these patterns more fully and begin to relate to them differently. Together, we will explore both your internal experiences and the broader contexts that shape them.
My approach is integrative and trauma-informed, combining talk therapy with somatic and experiential practices. In our work, we may explore both your current concerns and the ways past experiences continue to influence your responses in the present. At times, this includes slowing down to notice how stress, emotion, and meaning are held in the body, supporting a more integrated and sustainable process of change.
Over time, this work can lead to greater flexibility in how you respond to stress, a clearer sense of identity and direction, and a more grounded relationship with yourself and others.
Couples & Relationship Therapy
For cross-cultural and interracial couples and relationships of every kind, seeking deeper understanding and connection
Relationships that bridge cultures, identities, or family systems can be deeply meaningful, and at times, complex. Couples therapy offers a space to slow down and examine the patterns that shape how you and your partner relate to one another. This can be especially meaningful when differences in communication, expectations, or lived experience can create tension that is difficult to navigate alone.
Many couples I work with are deeply committed to one another, yet find themselves caught in recurring cycles of misunderstandings, emotional distance, or conflict that feels hard to resolve despite good intentions. These patterns often develop over time and are influenced by each partner’s relational history, attachment patterns, and cultural context.
My approach is informed by PACT therapy (Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy) and grounded in an attachment-based perspective. Together, we will explore how each partner experiences closeness, distance, and threat within the relationship, and how these experiences shape responses during moments of stress. In our work together, we will bring attention to these interactional patterns in real time, while also working to strengthen communication and deepen mutual understanding.
Over time, this process supports a greater capacity to remain connected during difficulty, repair more effectively after conflict, and build a relationship that feels more intentional, secure, and supportive for both partners.
EMDR Therapy
For processing trauma and adverse experiences that continue to feel unresolved
EMDR is an evidence-based psychotherapy that facilitates adaptive information processing, allowing distressing experiences to be integrated in a way that reduces their ongoing impact. It is based on the understanding that when certain experiences are not fully processed, they can continue to influence how you think, feel, and respond in the present.
You may notice this as patterns that feel difficult to shift—such as persistent anxiety, heightened emotional reactions, or responses that feel out of proportion to the current situation.
EMDR supports the brain’s natural ability to process and integrate these experiences, helping to reprocess these experiences so they become less distressing and more integrated over time. As this occurs, many clients experience a reduction in emotional intensity, along with shifts in beliefs, responses, and overall sense of stability.
EMDR can be incorporated into ongoing therapy as part of a broader, integrative process, or offered as a more focused, short-term approach. In some cases, clients seek EMDR as an adjunct to their existing work with another therapist, with the intention of addressing specific trauma events while continuing their primary therapeutic relationship.
When appropriate, I integrate EMDR into our work in a way that is structured, collaborative, and attuned to your readiness. I can also provide EMDR as a standalone model or as an adjunct therapy to your existing work.
