I believe in developing strong, trusting relationships with clients by learning who they are, where they come from, and what they find important. I do this through being genuine, transparent, humble and even using humor. I see myself as a guide who empowers clients to reconnect with their strengths and get back to their best selves. I take a cognitive-behavioral approach, integrated with mindfulness and values-based interventions. More broadly, I come from a multicultural and trauma-informed lens, seeking to understand how your cultural background and significant life experiences shape who/where you are.
