I have experience working with individuals and families involved in adoption or foster care, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and military members and veterans. I’m especially passionate about supporting individuals who have recently been discharged from a psychiatric hospital. This transition can feel uncertain and heavy, and my goal is to provide a calm, steady space where we can focus on stabilization, coping skills, and rebuilding a sense of safety and hope. My approach is collaborative and gentle, drawing from evidence-based therapies including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

As a child of immigrants, I understand the struggles that families go through to establish themselves. I have experience providing case management & referrals to families that are dealing with a loved one with chronic mental health issues that family member refusing any type of treatment. Families often need referrals and direction to establish POA, guardianship and estate planning for seniors who are growing older and maybe dealing with cognitive loss. I feel my experiences as a community & hospital social worker has provided me with the education and hands on experience to understand one's experience throughout the life span.

Therapy is a challenging step to take, so I would like to introduce you to a different perspective of therapy. Growing up we learn how to care for our wellbeing. We may go through life taking care of our physical health, hygiene, and any injuries that may occur, but how much do we tend to the rest of what makes us who we are- our thoughts and emotions? I welcome you to care for all of your wellbeing. Including your mental health.

Welcome! Let us take a moment to acknowledge you for taking the first steps towards seeking help. I imagine this is not easy, but it is a sign of strength. I believe that everyone has the capacity to grow, heal and change, and learn new ways for improving their well-being. You can begin to heal by recognizing how important your thoughts and feelings are in navigating this world. Often, we can attempt to solve everything and sometimes we "solve" ourselves into various situations that take a piece out of us, leaving us fragmented and further away from tending to our whole selves.
