You are a unique gift, a perfect creation of love and generosity. My foundation lies in psycho-dynamic, cognitive, and behavioral theories, but I go beyond traditional frameworks by integrating evidence-based techniques and mindfulness practices. I am deeply committed to the transformative power of the connection between mind, body, and soul. I view therapy as a dynamic, creative process with the potential to create profound and lasting change in people's lives. My approach is multidisciplinary, systemic, holistic, client-centered, and solution focused.
I provide multicultural counseling, interpersonal relationships, life transitions, and parental coaching. I use a variety of approaches such as art therapy, talk therapy, mindfulness, TF-CBT (trauma focus cognitive behavioral therapy), archetypes exploration, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, & Positive Psychology. I have 8 years of clinical experience.
As a transformational leader. I lead with a clear vision, transparency, open communication, long term goals, individualized consideration, innovation and creativity, curiosity and charisma, humor, and inspirational motivation where I bring people with me through shared ownership. I hold a Administrator Cert. for K-12 education.
