My approach to therapy is similar to my approach to life: adaptable and authentic. I think it is important to meet people where they are and to acknowledge the systemic issues that have brought challenges into their lives. I work from a multicultural and relational perspective (in other words, our families and our cultural influence who we are and it is important to bring that into therapy). NOTE: I do not have any current openings.

I specialize in trauma recovery, supporting survivors of childhood abuse, and people experiencing first-generation relational and systemic issues.

I'm not here to "fix you", I am here to help guide you on your journey of self-discovery and self-value.
