I am a multicultural, holistic, trauma-informed, LGBT+ affirmative therapist and a core believer in resiliency of human spirit. Though you may consider me as the professional/expert, you are the expert of your lived experiences. I strongly believe that the client has a right to both be a recipient as well as an influencer within the therapeutic relationship. My job as a therapist is to act as guide while you are empowered to tackle both inner and outer barriers. I aim to hold a space for those who may not have access to any other arenas to feel heard and understood.
I incorporate a variety of traditional and nontraditional modalities that includes trauma-sensitive mindfulness practices, attachment-based systems work, and cognitive-behavioral model. I love to make my methods as individualized/special as those who seek my services.
I recognize the aspirations of those in my care to enhance their roles as spouses, friends, and relatives, driven by a deep-seated desire to become the best versions of themselves. My approach involves meeting individuals at their current point, assisting them in pursuing meaningful goals, and providing steadfast support in navigating life's obstacles.
