Hi! Nice to meet you
Starting over in a new country comes with challenges most people never see—identity shifts, relationship strain, and the pressure to stay strong. Having gone through this journey myself, I understand the weight it can carry. My work is about helping individuals and couples make sense of these challenges, find emotional balance, and strengthen their connections along the way.

COUPLES THERAPY
I offer practical, supportive therapy for couples from different cultures or Hispanic backgrounds who feel disconnected, stuck in conflict, or struggling to communicate. I use the Gottman Method as it offers structure, clarity, and emotional safety—making it easier to communicate across differences and rebuild connection. Find my profile on the Gottman Referral Network here.
Let’s begin.​
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Starting over in a new country often brings hidden stress, identity shifts, and silent grief for what was left behind. I use Emotion Regulation and Strengths-Based Therapies to help immigrants manage emotional overwhelm, stay grounded, and navigate the tension between who they were and who they’re becoming.
Together, we’ll work on moving from survival to meaningful change.
FAQs
What is my approach?
I offer culturally sensitive, practical therapy for immigrants and multicultural couples navigating life between worlds. Together, we focus on what matters most to you—building emotional balance, clarity, and stronger relationships.
What are the topics of discussion during therapy?
Common topics include navigating cultural differences, language barriers, different values, immigration stress, belonging uncertainty, home sickness, family expectations, loss of community and coping with the pressure to “have it all together.” Therapy is a space to unpack these challenges and find your way through.
Why pre-marital counseling?
I believe in premarital counseling because multicultural couples face unique challenges with values, family expectations, and cultural differences. Starting these conversations early helps build a strong foundation before bigger challenges arise.
Is therapy just for couples who are about to break up?
Not at all. In fact, couples who seek therapy early—whether dating, engaged, or simply feeling a bit disconnected—often strengthen their relationship before bigger challenges arise. Gottman research shows most couples wait six years to get help—often when the damage feels harder to fix.
How to find the right therapist?
You deserve a therapist who really gets the complexity of life between cultures and the silent pressures that come with it. Our first session gives you a chance to explore if my approach feels right for you, without any obligation to continue.
