As a therapist, my personal battles have granted me an intimacy with the struggles my clients face. I understand the reluctance to ask for help, especially in multicultural communities where mental health is often not taken seriously. Generational trauma and cultural expectations have woven intricate barriers around seeking assistance. It's a struggle I'm familiar with, and that familiarity is the cornerstone of the safe haven I strive to create for my clients. Consider working with me if you recognize that therapy can be a powerful tool for personal growth and healing, and you are ready to create positive changes in your life.

My specialty lies in multicultural issues, trauma, and adolescent issues. I believe that a strong therapeutic alliance is crucial for effective therapy, and I will strive to create an atmosphere of trust, safety, and understanding. I am also trained in various therapeutic modalities and will always adjust to your specific needs.

It's important to remember that therapy is a collaborative process and your commitment to the process will play a significant role in achieving the desired outcomes. Together, we can work towards your goals and empower you to make positive changes in your life. If you're ready to embark on this journey of self-discovery and growth, I'm here to support you.
