Here to Help You Heal
As a licensed therapist with experience helping a diverse range of individuals, I specialize in guiding BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and young to older adults through struggles with anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, relationship problems, life transitions, and perinatal issues.
My mission is to support you in cultivating healthier thought patterns and behaviors through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), building and improving coping strategies through Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), and assisting in the processing and healing of trauma and life experiences.
My Approach to Care
I take a trauma-informed and empowering approach that is tailored to your unique history and goals. Working together, you can expect a collaborative and supportive environment designed to help you build resilience and enhance coping strategies, with treatments that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Motivational Interviewing, and solution-focused approaches.
No matter the treatment, I believe in empathy, collaboration, and honesty, which helps me be a caring, team-oriented, and transparent partner in your therapeutic journey. I look forward to building a strong, reliable relationship that nurtures our time together.
A Journey into Exceptional Patient Care
My path to becoming a therapist began with work as an immigration paralegal, a victim-witness coordinator, and a guardianship liaison. These experiences developed my awareness of the gap in mental health services for BIPOC communities and deepened my commitment to making a difference within my communities. I now bring a personalized, supportive, and empathetic presence to each session guided by this awareness and dedication for positive change.
Personal Interests
Outside the office, I love reading – and building book nooks to get lost in novels in comfort. I also enjoy traveling and swimming for fitness.
