We are meant to go through life with a support system that is conducive to our own growth. That process may consist of exploring and dissecting cultural and familial upbringings and environmental factors. If you are experiencing difficulties coping with anxiety, depression, cultural and familial pressures, I can assist you navigate these feelings and discover a path that serves you and your purpose.
As a bilingual/bicultural LMFT, I am committed to helping clients navigate through life's trials & experiences. My work focuses on diving into personal growth, exploring patterns/behaviors, while cultivating resiliency/autonomy. I believe in a collaborative approach where YOU are the expert to your story & I am here to help guide/assist you in your growth.
Our lives cross paths for a reason & healing begins today! Many aspects of our lives flourish based on the village in which we are a part of. Creating a safe, empowering environment where you feel the ability to be vulnerable is one that I strive to build. It would be an honor to be a part of your village & see you flourish in your own therapeutic journey.
