In life we face inevitable challenges and misfortune that can contribute to emotional distress and feeling stuck. I work with individuals, couples, and families to help them find meaning, strength, and growth in their hardships as a way to move forward to reach their goals and full potential. I utilize an integrative approach, implementing various strategies and modalities of treatment to meet one's needs and goals, ultimately helping increase value based behaviors. I enjoy helping clients create more harmony in their lives and foster a more positive outlook, promoting an improved sense of wellbeing and happiness.
With over 20 years of experience, I have gained invaluable experience treating a broad and diverse population with acute and chronic behavioral health issues, including trauma, often utilizing trauma-informed care. Being bicultural/bilingual has sharpened my lens to appreciate how culture, background, and individual differences impact functioning.
I find it my privilege to be part of an individual's life journey and to be that objective perspective and support, something that can be difficult to obtain from family or friends, despite their best intentions. My style is direct, yet warm and collaborative. I offer a non-judgmental and trusting environment, a powerful catalyst for change.
