Great to meet you!

Hello, welcome to my practice! I am a bilingual, first generation, Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has over 10 years of experience in this field. I provide individual therapy to individuals who are seeking to better their life and understand their core foundation. I strive to provide compassionate, direct, and culturally compassionate treatment to support you in this journey.

My approach to therapy

In your sessions, we will explore early childhood experiences, family dynamics, culture, and attachment patterns that have shaped who you are today. We will explore thoughts and feelings outside the conscious mind to identify root causes of your distress and understand why you behave the way you are. In order to achieve long-lasting change, we will explore how past experiences influence your current state. This will help you gain insight to your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, I aim to provide a safe and welcoming environment. I will review my practice guidelines with you to ensure this is the correct fit. We will identify current challenges and barriers you are facing to create goals that you will work towards while in treatment. Together we will create a treatment plan to guide your treatment. Trust, communication, and respect will be fundamental in our work together. I am committed to providing a safe space to address concerns, suggestions, and progress in treatment.
