Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical psychologist passionate about providing a holistic, integrative approach to psychotherapy, using evidence-based treatment methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), Motivational Interviewing, and Supportive Therapy.

My approach to therapy

I enjoy working with each person based on their unique needs. I love helping adolescents, young adults, and adults from diverse ethnic backgrounds with a wide range of psychological issues and life challenges.

Having lived in different cultures, I appreciate exploring how various cultural backgrounds affect clients’ mental health. I value a multicultural approach that acknowledges cultural influences in the development and expression of psychopathologies.

What you can expect from me

I am committed to serving individuals and communities by providing a therapeutic environment where everyone can access high-quality mental health services. Moreover, I love providing and integrating spirituality in therapy.

I also provide psychological testing for educational placements, diagnostics, and other purposes.
