As a bilingual Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LCPC) and certified Life Coach, I believe mental health is essential to living a fulfilling life. Taking the first step toward therapy can be challenging, so I commend you for prioritizing your well-being. With over 15 years in the counseling field in schools and other settings, I now specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, grief, and relationships while balancing cultural identity and family expectations with personal fulfillment.

I believe therapy should be a collaborative and supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. Everyone’s journey is unique, so I tailor my approach to fit your individual needs, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based techniques. Together, we’ll explore your experiences, challenge unhelpful patterns, and build the tools you need to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and clarity.

In our first session, you'll have the space to share your story and what you hope to gain from therapy. If you're unsure, that’s okay, we’ll figure it out together. I strive to create a warm, supportive environment where you feel comfortable opening up while also feeling safe and empowered. As we continue, we’ll work collaboratively to turn your goals into meaningful progress and lasting change.
