Nice to meet you

I offer a warm, grounding space where you can explore the emotions, patterns, and cultural stories that shape your life. I support first-generation individuals, immigrants, and those navigating generational trauma, blending holistic practices with trauma-informed care to help you move through anxiety, depression, overwhelm, and self-doubt. I show up with compassion and curiosity, creating a space where you feel seen and supported as you build confidence, strengthen boundaries, and cultivate self-trust.

Interests

Outside of work, I love staying connected to joy and creativity. I enjoy dancing, traveling, and exploring new places whenever I can. I also value spending quality time with my family, whether we’re sharing a meal or catching up. Baking is another way I unwind and express myself, especially when trying new recipes for the people I love. These activities help me stay grounded and bring balance to my life.
