Reaching out for help demonstrates inner strength and willingness to face various life challenges. As an immigrant, accessing resources and services that feel inclusive and culturally sensitive is challenging. My journey in healing as an individual, a mother, and a caring community member has sparked a desire to provide culturally sensitive care to people from all walks of life. Although many clients have experienced marginalization due to their background as an immigrant (BIPOC, MENA, AMEMSA), other clients have realized numerous privileges in their life and felt a sense of inclusion and reconciliation within the larger community.

I’m a compassionate believer in the power of individual stories. As a professional counselor intern based in Oregon, I provide a non-judgmental space where individuals can openly share their experiences and work collaboratively towards shaping their present circumstances and future aspirations.

I consider a myriad of techniques and philosophies in my approach to therapy, specifically focusing on Motivational Interviewing, Optimistic Therapy, and Positive Psychological Coaching. I strongly believe in a humanistic and person-centered approach to therapy: acknowledging the first step of coming to therapy is often the toughest and building off each client’s unique confidence and perspectives. My experience includes working closely with the LGBTQ+ community and individuals experiencing homelessness, along with helping clients navigate complex systems as they seek assistance in healing and improving their circumstances.

Are you feeling lost, rejected, or unworthy in ways that are hard to explain? Do you feel stuck or disconnected from the life you’ve worked so hard to create? You may be carrying an abandonment wound, a deep pain many of us share but rarely name.
I help people uncover the unseen patterns from their past that quietly hold them back. Healing isn’t about forcing yourself into a new way of being, it’s about learning to work with the grain of your inner world, honoring the natural rhythms of your mind, body, and emotions. When we move with the grain, healing feels less like a fight and more like a path unfolding before you.

Have you been through a difficult experience? I specialize in emotional and relational disorders arising from trauma, sexual abuse, attachment disruptions, and less-than-optimal early childhood experiences. These types of experiences can create life-long distress and difficulty with relationships. Finding the right therapist is an important first step in healing from trauma. My orientation integrates modern neuroscience with relational psychotherapy. In addition to traditional methods, I utilize expressive approaches such as sandtray, play therapy, psychodrama, art therapy and ketamine assisted psychotherapy as appropriate.

New openings for couples as of Nov. 10th. You may be considering couples/marriage counseling after much pain and distress in your relationship. Perhaps fighting, feeling alone, in a transactional relationship or like you lost your best friend. It can be scary to look at your partner and not remember feeling close, yet longing for that very closeness. In our work together I primarily draw on Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT). EFT is all about easing the escalation of the same conflicts and creating (or sometimes re-creating) new positive patterns and a safe bond with your beloved. Learning to connect again.

Everyone needs to talk about their personal concerns, emotions, and life challenges. At times, it is best to talk to someone who is not a friend or family member. I provide a place and process for these personal conversations. I will support you as you resolve old issues and emotional blocks, find new insights and choices, develop new ways of coping and acting. I am interactive and supportive. I work with individuals experiencing stress/anxiety/trauma; depression; childhood and relationship issues; life transitions - divorce, the death of someone important, illness, and transitions of midlife or becoming an elder; ADHD.

My job and ultimate goal is to provide clients with their own skill set and help them find what works best for them, so that they don't need me to continue navigating their own lives. I hold each and every one of my clients with the highest respect and I take a personal interest in seeing them through transformation and growth. I experience great satisfaction in witnessing them flourish and expand in their lives. To be welcomed along as a teammate in someone else's personal journey and path is an exceptional honor that I do not take lightly.

Respectful, collaborative therapy. Are you sensitive, sad or anxious? Are there questions in your relationships? Do you feel shame or regret about yourself or your body, or struggle with other distressing thought or behavior patterns? Are there memories of childhood neglect or other trauma? I help people explore & come to terms with issues like these. My education and training have given me detailed perspectives about some of the concerns that trouble people - as well as underlying wounds, challenges and complicated feelings that come up in dealing with them. This includes working with personal, generational &/or systemic trauma.

I am a firm believer that counseling can benefit the personal growth of any individual. In a therapeutic relationship, this growth comes through the ongoing journey where you are able to safely discuss mental illness, process difficult events, and learn tools for holistic healing. I believe it is my job as a counselor to assist you in uncovering solutions, building confidence, and finding direction in life. I place a high value on therapeutic, non-judgmental relationships centered around deep listening. I am a Christian and if you would like to discuss your Christian faith, I would be happy to offer faith-based counseling.

I believe in providing a safe space offering compassion and understanding to allow you to explore the deeper layers of yourself and your life’s experiences. We will work together to uncover the root cause of challenges along with lifelong patterns, relationships, and family dynamics. Mindfulness and somatic interventions are interwoven into the therapy to help provide a foundation for emotional regulation and processing. Additionally, my approach centers on a multicultural and social justice orientation meaning that our conversations will naturally include your cultural identities and social locations as well as the broader context.

As a psychologist, I have two skill sets: psychotherapy and psychological testing. Many people seek out therapy because life is hard. Sometimes they feel like life is meaningless, and joy has slipped out of their lives. Others feel like life is terrifying and experience fear daily. Traumas will flash through their mind's eye and they cannot think of anything else. Things like relationships, work or school, and basic life tasks can feel impossible. My goal is to help you heal. As a therapist, my hope for all my clients is that they can live well, work well, love well, and experience meaning and joy in their lives!
