I believe that every individual has great potential and deserves to live a fulfilling life; I also recognize that difficulties and obstacles are inevitable. My goal for therapy is to create a safe space for my clients to explore how those difficulties and obstacles may affect them — physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually — and to use the therapeutic space to practice bringing forward their strengths so that they can see themselves beyond their problems. When you come to me, you’re not just my client. You’re a fellow human with hopes, dreams, vulnerabilities, strengths, weaknesses and ultimately potential.

Just talking and venting about your week alone, can be helpful to be able to process your thoughts and feelings with someone that will focus solely on you without any interruptions. Additionally, being multi-cultural and bilingual, has allowed me to be culturally sensitive and work well with diverse backgrounds.

Often in life, feelings of sadness, confusion, or disconnection can overwhelm us. It’s easy to feel stuck—burdened by emotions that seem too dense to untangle or escape.

Therapy is a sacred space for you to process difficult emotions. My clinical approach is for clients to create meaning and purpose in life through reshaping the narrative of painful experiences and re-connecting to their internal strengths. Through changing self-talk, old attachment patterns, and building self-esteem, we can cultivate new neural pathways to allow you to flourish. I use a variety of cognitive and somatic approaches, including CBT, ACT, IFS, and EMDR, to aid you in your healing journey. My hope is to offer you a space to be heard, loved, and celebrated for your authentic self.

I believe that we all struggle, at times, to cope with difficult feelings. You know, the ones that have been with us all our lives? The ones that make us feel stuck and hopeless at times? I also believe that we can make some sense out of our feelings by examining past relationships. With this awareness we can begin to look at your current feelings and relationships. In a non-judgmental environment, come as you are. We will approach this together.
