I use an eclectic blend of therapeutic modalities, including cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused treatment.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, it is important for me to continually stay abreast of the current research and utilize evidence-based interventions and techniques tailored to each individual’s treatment needs and preferences. My approach to therapy is holistic in nature, addressing the unique client with a past, present, and future. My hope and success has been in providing a healing environment where individuals are able to experience their true and loved self.

Acculturation is the process of adopting cultural traits or social norms of another group, and is a common experience for individuals who have migrated. People who migrate often encounter stress and adjustment problems with limited access to mental health support. Relationship and family conflicts, traumatic experiences, life transition challenges, loss, problems related to boundary setting, poor self-esteem and self-concept are common issues, only to name a few. The goal of therapy is to help you become most resilient and adaptive in your family and community by managing these challenging circumstances.

I enjoy working with college students, professionals in healthcare, caregivers, singles that are dating/looking to date, single parents, newly divorced or separated, and specifically young adult couples looking to improve their relationships amidst juggling school, work, new baby, or life transitions. I also have a strong interest in helping individuals who struggle with the bi-cultural experience and inter-generational conflicts.

Life and relationships can have us feeling overwhelmed. Sometimes fear, communication and relationship conflict arise, and we wonder how to handle it or what tools can help us. Some keys to managing these concerns are: insight on what changes need to be made, what resources are available, what tools are available and how they are used. Going through tough times in life can already be challenging but going through them alone can be scary and confusing. Take comfort in knowing you do not have to go through alone. We work with clients to provide tools for change and a space to be authentical you. We service clients in TX and FL.

The opportunity to engage with someone who really "gets you" at a deep level can have remarkable transformational power.

We work towards discovering your unique path to self awareness, helping you to understand yourself, better define and reach your goals and help you find fulfillment and satisfaction.

Life can sometimes be complicated.

A counselor can help you identify the root of the problems and develop steps toward their resolution. There is no reason to struggle through another day alone. Reach out for the support you need and we will work together to move you towards living the life you want to live.

Therapy is an investment in your personal growth and a dedication to your overall well-being. Therapy can help us identify our strengths and personal successes, and help to explore our areas of growth. I work to provide a trusting, warm, open, and supportive relationship for my clients. Understanding our past and our current life patterns fosters internal growth, so we can understand ourselves on a deeper level, create emotional well-being, and move towards contentment with ourselves and our lives. The therapeutic relationship is a partnership between the client and the therapist, and is based on trust, and respect.

I want to help you become a reflection of your highest self. I want to help you get to know you.

My biggest takeaway from therapy was how crucial the therapeutic relationship is: so much more work, growth, & healing can be done when you feel safe with your therapist, when you feel they really see you and understand you.
