I work with a diverse group of clients. From my couples facing communication, connection and lack of intimacy, to my individuals having symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma and self-esteem issues, I have worked with all. Moreover, I am open to working with clients from marginalized communities, being a BIPOC therapist, I work with a lot of empathy.
By aligning with my clients through empathy, I strive to create a safe space. Additionally, I attempt to enable them to feel accomplished in who they are and where they come from. As a multi-cultured, trilingual, woman of color, I help clients to explore all the owned and disowned parts of their identity in practice, while rewriting their stories.
I encourage clients to reach out to me if they are ready to rewrite their narrative to one that is most authentic to themselves and their values.

While I have experience in working with depression, trauma and relationship challenges. Something I uniquely offer is working with clients who have had cultural trauma. This involves immigration related stressors, grief of leaving your culture and home behind, challenges of navigating through a new culture and finding yourselves. I create a space of understanding and healing through empathy.
