You may have suffered greatly internally and contemplated making a change. When the time comes, the risk to remain tight in a bud can be more painful than the risk it takes to blossom. If you are ready to improve your self-esteem, or seek healing from trauma, or overcome a depressive episode, or rebuild healthy relationships, I am here to guide and walk with you in your journal of growth and transformation. As a clinical and research psychologist and former assistant professor, I actively incorporate 14 years of clinical experience and research evidence working with children, adolescents, adults, and couples in my work with clients.
I believe change can only happen when one is truly heard, empathized, and accepted. Each emotion is valued in therapeutic space because it supplies important information about your being. I foster a nurturing therapeutic relationship with clients and use emotion focused and other frameworks to transform old, stuck feelings to more adaptive ones.
As a bilingual psychologist with 14 years of experience working in various settings, I connect with clients despite their skin color, body image, cultural background, and disability and social status. Clients experience me as warm, understanding, and empathic. I truly honor the opportunity to accompany my clients in their journey of growth and healing.
