Limited appts avail: Everyone experiences difficulties or challenges. I offer compassionate support to children, teens, adults & families as they navigate their feelings, relationships, and their place within their community, school, culture & family. I promote the balance of mind, body & spirit utilizing caring, holistic interventions, honoring inner strength, individuality & with deep respect to multiculturalism. I believe therapy offers an opportunity for growth and transformation.
As an LMHCA & Certified Nutritionist, I provide a well-rounded approach & my hands-on experience as a parent provide insight on what families are facing at home, in school & in peer groups. Growing up bicultural, I understand the unique landscape of navigating identity, acculturation & assimilation and I take a culturally inclusive, anti-oppressive approach
I use a strength based, collaborative, approach focusing on holistic intersectionality, compassion & connectedness. We are influenced by our family of origin, cultural background, social networks, & different life experiences. My work supports these influences with respect and honor to the unique individuality we bring to all of the roles in our lives.
