As a counselor, I believe in the inherent worth and potential of every individual and relationship. Grounded in Person-Centered Therapy, I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. As the child of immigrant parents, I understand the complexities of family dynamics and the challenges they bring. I’m committed to fostering an inclusive, supportive environment for people from all walks of life, offering steady support as we work together to strengthen relationships and create a balanced, fulfilling life.

Using a Family Systems perspective, recognizing that our behaviors, emotions, and mental health are influenced by family dynamics. Whether individually or as a couple, I help identify and shift patterns affecting your wellbeing. With a trauma-informed approach, I create a healing space to process experiences, build resilience, and live a fulfilling life.

Como conselheira, acredito no valor e no potencial de cada indivíduo e relacionamento. Usando uma terapia Centrada na Pessoa, crio um espaço seguro e sem julgamentos para explorar seus pensamentos, sentimentos e experiências. Com minha vivência como filha de imigrantes, ofereço apoio para fortalecer relacionamentos e alcançar uma vida equilibrada.
