As both a therapist and a researcher, I aim to address the dynamic and lived experiences of those impacted by intergenerational trauma, aspects of culture and acculturation, sexual distress or intimacy-related concerns. I often work with individuals, particularly the daughters of immigrants, who present well on the surface, seem completely put together when they want to be, and whose problems are not always apparent to others. While things might appear to be going well on the outside, privately they are hurting. Sometimes the source of distress is clearly known, other times it has yet to be discovered.
Drawing from empirically-supported treatments, I use CBT, psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness and psychoeducation to guide my work. I bring my real self into the room in a warm, supportive and direct way. I believe that therapy should be empowering to promote lasting change not only in symptom relief but also self-discovery, resilience, and personal growth.
My clinical experience over the past decade includes work in private practice, correctional settings, hospitals, and community agencies. Prior to opening my own practice, I spent 5 years at the WCCST. Discussing trauma or intimate concerns isn’t always easy—but I'm here to make it safe. Whatever you're facing, we'll work collaboratively and without judgment.
