As an immigrant woman growing up in America, I have seen and personally experienced the challenges of being a minority woman. Through resiliency and perseverance, I am now the clinical director of an outpatient program at a non-profit. I have been working in the community mental health field serving low-income individuals and families for over 15 years. I specialize in trauma treatment, especially sexual trauma. I use a trauma- and cultural-informed lens to look at the issue.
I believe in having a trusting relationship in the space of therapy. I like to walk along side you in your healing journey to help you build insights and empower you to make the changes you want to see in your life through processing your trauma, looking at the source of the issue, and understanding your patterns. My style is a balance of being direct and empathic because change is uncomfortable and it requires both. I am trained in EMDR, TF-CBT and Structural Family Therapy.
Change is a process and the destination of your healing journey is up to you. Along the way, I hope to empower you to believe in your ability to make changes, help you build insights into our life, and support you taking steps towards the life you want to have! Please reach out for a 15 min. consultation call to see if we're a good fit!
