About
Many of the couples who find their way to my practice never imagined they would need therapy. From the outside, their lives look stable even successful. They have built careers, created financial security, and carry significant responsibility. But somewhere along the way, the relationship began to feel different. Conversations became shorter, tension grew more frequent, and connection slowly gave way to distance. Often, they are first-generation or bicultural professionals navigating not only demanding careers, but also the quiet weight of cultural expectations, family roles, and identity shifts.
With over 15 years of clinical experience, I work with high-achieving professionals in intercultural relationships in the U.S., many of them first-generation immigrants, who feel stuck despite their efforts. Using a structured, evidence-based approach, we identify patterns driving conflict, strengthen communication, and rebuild connection.
I offer both couples sessions and individual sessions as part of the process. Every person is unique, and our work will be tailored to your specific story. Reach out today to schedule a consultation and take the first step toward the peace and freedom you’ve been longing for.
