I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the Founder and President of Blue Humming Therapy, a non-profit mental health organization dedicated to fostering holistic well-being for diverse clients and communities. I provide humanistic and compassionate therapy for individuals of all ages, as well as couples and families. My approach goes beyond traditional mind and body treatment. It focuses on guiding clients toward healing on a soul-deep level, helping them achieve true well-being and personal growth. My therapeutic framework focuses on:
1)Nurturing Inner Guidance: I help clients cultivate a Nurturing Parent Voice within themselves, replacing the strict or critical inner voice, to foster self-compassion and emotional resilience. 2)Developing Self-Love and Self-Compassion: I guide clients to embrace self-love and compassion as essential foundations for personal growth and healing.
3)Enhancing Self-Awareness: Supporting clients in increasing their awareness of themselves and their relationships, fostering deeper connections and understanding. This holistic perspective integrates self, relationships, and lifestyle to support a balanced and fulfilling life. Award: Who's Who in America (2025), Brainz 500 Global Award (2021).,
