I meet people where they are so we can begin the journey towards a more healthy and productive life. As a bicultural, bilingual clinician, I am well aware of how important cultural and family norms are and what role these play in our daily lives. I am sensitive to inter-generational conflicts that arise due to acculturation issues. Experience working with maternal wellness, teen & adults. Envisioning a rich and rewarding life can be challenging when you are overcome by either longstanding or daily problems.
Special attributions to my practice include a delicate, open space and appreciation of each client's individuality. Together we can work to learn about yourself and provide support to cope with the dynamics of your life. I see clients in the following states: Florida, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
There is nothing more exciting then working with the resiliency of the human spirit! My hope is to create a safe place so you can explore and grow while managing the ups and down of this journey we call life. My experience has led me to conclude that talking, processing, in a therapeutic environment, is one of the most powerful agents of change.

I work with clients who may be struggling with ADHD, Self-esteem, Sexual Health, Anxiety, and Depression. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use an eclectic approach in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. We'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
