Great to meet you!

Thank you for being here. Finding the right support takes immense courage, and you should be proud of taking this first step. We are all human beings navigating different stages of life, and tending to our mental health is a vital part of that journey. It is completely normal to feel nervous or uncertain right now. You are not alone—I am here to guide and support you through this process.

As a bilingual and bi-cultural Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I bring a rich perspective to therapy. Since 2011, I have worked with individuals using evidence-based practices across a variety of settings, including non-profits, community organizations, hospitals, and schools. My commitment is to provide you with a welcoming, safe, and judgment-free space where you can feel fully heard, seen, and supported.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is to be fully present and collaborative. I am here to guide you so you can build on the inner strengths and resources you already have, because you are capable and deserving of living your best possible journey. Together, we will gently explore your patterns, look at what holds you back, and build healthy coping tools to begin the healing process. Let’s connect to talk about your story and see if we are a good fit.

What you can expect from me

I will guide you through this initial phase using open-ended questions to get to know you. I strongly believe that therapy is highly effective when we feel safe and can show up as our authentic selves. To support you, we can utilize grounding techniques to help you feel steady and confident, naturally leading us to the next phase where we will explore the goals you aim to achieve.
