Depth Psychotherapy in the Bay Area & across California

 

A Transformative Journey to Self Discovery and Emotional Growth

Welcome.

Are you experiencing unhappiness, worry, or feelings of emptiness? If you find it easier to support others while neglecting your own well-being, or if you're overwhelmed by major life changes like a new career or relationship, you're not alone. Whether you’re dealing with relationship challenges, setting healthy boundaries, or navigating the complexities of being a child of immigrant parents or a person of color, I can help you address these issues.


I specialize in helping individuals like you address these complex feelings and find long-term satisfaction through a weekly practice of reflection and self discovery. If short-term solutions haven’t provided the lasting change you seek, or you are simply newer to therapy, I am here to help you explore and resolve underlying issues to support you with creating a more fulfilling life.
