Compassionate Psychotherapy in Philadelphia, PA
Finding a therapist you feel safe with is not always easy, but the right connection can make healing feel possible. I provide in-person psychotherapy in Philadelphia, PA, supporting children of immigrants as they navigate family expectations, cultural differences, and intergenerational trauma. I support clients who are dealing with anxiety, overthinking, attachment and relationship patterns, boundaries, parentification, and fear of abandonment, with a focus on helping you build healthier and more secure ways of relating. Through culturally responsive therapy, I offer a safe, supportive space for you to explore your experiences, understand your patterns, and create meaningful change. I offer in-person therapy in South Philadelphia and online therapy for Pennsylvania residents.

Welcome.
Finding a therapist you feel safe with is no easy task, and we often only start looking when the need for change already feels urgent. And yet it is important to be intentional. Keep searching until you find someone who makes you feel deeply seen—someone you can build a relationship with—because healing happens in connection.
I like working with children of immigrants who are navigating family expectations, clashing cultures, and intergenerational trauma—or anyone who was parentified as a child and now as an adult, struggles in relationships with boundaries or getting their needs met. I also work with people who long for closeness but find themselves stuck in cycles of anxiety, overthinking, and fear of abandonment to help understand attachment patterns and move toward more secure, grounded ways of relating.
Please note that I only offer therapy for residents of Pennsylvania. We can do teletherapy Mondays through Wednesdays, or in-person on Thursdays in South Philadelphia.
It is difficult to know if we will connect before speaking, but I hope the information on this site can help you decide if you would like to reach out.
Therapy Services & Areas of Support
I provide compassionate, culturally responsive therapy for people navigating emotional, relational, and family challenges. My work is especially focused on helping clients understand themselves more deeply, build healthier relationships, and develop more secure and grounded ways of relating.
Anxiety & Overthinking
Therapy can help you better understand anxiety, overthinking, and fear of abandonment, while developing healthier ways to manage difficult emotions and feel more grounded in your relationships and daily life.
Intergenerational Trauma
For those navigating the effects of family history, cultural expectations, and inherited patterns, trauma therapy can provide space to understand and process intergenerational trauma in a supportive and compassionate environment.
Attachment & Relationship Patterns
Through attachment therapy and relationship therapy, we can explore patterns that may be affecting your relationships, including fears of rejection, difficulty trusting others, emotional disconnection, or a strong desire for closeness.
Therapy for Children of Immigrants
I work with children of immigrants and second-generation immigrants who may feel caught between cultures, family expectations, and their own individual identity. Therapy can provide a space to explore cultural identity, family relationships, expectations, and the challenges that can come with navigating multiple worlds.
Boundaries & Parentification
If you grew up feeling responsible for other people's emotions or needs, parentification therapy can help you understand how those experiences may continue to affect your relationships. We can work on boundaries, communication, and learning how to recognize and express your own needs.
Culturally Responsive Therapy
Your cultural background and personal experiences matter. My approach to culturally responsive therapy considers the ways culture, family, identity, and lived experiences can shape how you understand yourself and your relationships.
Whether you are struggling with anxiety, relationship patterns, boundaries, family expectations, or the effects of past experiences, therapy can offer a safe space to feel understood, gain insight, and create meaningful change.
