It takes courage to take the first step in finding a therapist. One of my roles as your therapist is to create a safe and warm environment where you will feel comfortable. I believe that the therapy process is a joint venture between the therapist and client working together to achieve the goals that are important to you. One of my commitments to my clients is to provide a supportive and encouraging atmosphere so that you feel supported while you travel through this process. I will also assist you in exploring patterns of feelings and behaviors that might be producing challenges on your journey.

Just like going to the doctor, sometimes we need an emotional checkup. Counseling is an opportunity for you to work on yourself, relationships, goals, depression/anxiety, ADHD and other issues or diagnoses preventing you from living life as you wish to. Each session belongs to the client--it is your place to focus solely on you. My experience includes eight years of individual and family therapy. Additionally, I have 10 years of experience working with family dynamics in academic, learning disorders and life skills coaching as well as academic counseling.

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.
