"Diversity is being invited to the party; inclusion is being asked to dance." -Verna Myers- Hello and bienvenue! Deciding to engage in therapy is an important step in one’s life and I am honored by the opportunity to join in this journey with you. I look forward to the opportunity of hearing your story and working with you. I identify as a multiracial, bicultural, and bilingual psychologist. I was born in Kuala Lumpur (KL) Malaysia and spent my formative years in Nigeria, West Africa. I moved to the United States as an International student to pursue higher education and upon formal employment, was able to obtain my permanent residence as an immigrant. I am very passionate about social justice reform and have a deep empathy and personal understanding of the immigrant experience and work to support and empower my clients who identify as immigrants. In my work, I see the role of culture as being integral in understanding one's journey. While the interpersonal process framework and relational-cultural narrative therapy guides my work, I also incorporate other evidenced-based practices such as emotion focused therapy, interpersonal process therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to address maladaptive patterns and behaviors. If you feel we might be a good fit, feel free to contact me and we can schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation. Merci!
