About Me

Growing up, I often heard, “You’re too sensitive.” Like many, I didn’t know how to handle difficult emotions. I thought the only way was to keep my head down and push through it. I believed hard work could outrun anxiety and self-doubt, but eventually I realized that strength isn’t about perfection; it’s about learning how to care for yourself when things are hard.

Over time I learned to meet emotions like sadness and anxiety with objectivity and compassion. That shift helped me make choices that were aligned with my values, not just social and cultural expectations.

Now I help others do the same: understand their emotions, balance ambition with self-compassion, and build lives that feel more whole.

Outside of therapy, I love traveling with friends and family, baking something sweet, and I’m already planning next year’s Super Bowl party.
