Being part of the interconnected natural world, we thrive in connection, and without connection, we wither. In our work together we will collaborate in understanding what makes you come alive and wither, to look for ways to get unstuck and make meaning of your emotions and suffering in rewriting your story. I believe that individuals/families can tap into their inner strength to repair and grow new resilience with guidance and support. My role is to restore balance, build communication, and provide support to help you create space to learn and integrate new skills and encourage new perspectives as you grow and thrive in connections.
I am here to create a space for you to explore, to collaborate with you to make meaning of your emotions, reactivity, stickiness, and whatever is holding you back from you. I am a systemic and integrated therapist using-family system, psychodynamic, DBT, IFS, and trained EMDR clinician to help with PTSD/CPTSD /Motherhood/and trauma-related disturbances.
Being an immigrant myself, raising children, and building a place of my own as a BIPOC therapist while navigating different life stages and challenges, I am familiar with the tension that arises from differences in cultural/generational values/bicultural experiences. Ultimately, I want to support and empower you on your journey to be you. Contact me, now
