Lived Experience

The notion that therapists are blank slates has long been outdated. Therapists, like any individuals, bring their own backgrounds and perspectives into their work, and the profession has evolved to acknowledge and address these factors in the therapeutic process. My lived experiences form the foundation of understanding and empathy. Having faced the challenges of living with chronic illness and health anxiety, I intimately grasp the emotional and physical intricacies surrounding these struggles. As the daughter of divorced immigrant parents, I navigate the complexities of family dynamics, offering a unique perspective on resilience and personal growth. Drawing from my experiences on the other side of the therapy room, I understand the vulnerability therapy involves and am dedicated to creating a safe, genuine, and non-judgmental therapeutic environment. The pressures of having an ethnic upbringing and assimilating into American culture are familiar territories for me, and I am here to support you in finding your authentic identity. Additionally, my insights into maintaining a fulfilling long-term relationship allow me to explore the nuances of connection and commitment. Join me on a journey of self-discovery and healing, where your individual experiences are honored and embraced.
