Great to meet you!

Life challenges such as depression, anxiety, transitions, grief, relationships, or immigration can be difficult at all ages of life. Having a passionate therapist with a trauma-informed approach who believes in individualizing treatment to your specific needs is key during the healing process.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I will strive to instill hope by empowering clients to discover and build on their own strengths. I believe therapy can help individuals navigate through difficulties. Come with me to the journey of introspection and we will find healing in the end.

What you can expect from our first session

Im a dedicated, hardworking and passionate therapist who believes in individualizing treatment to your specific needs. My goal is to meet you with empathy, respect, and an open mind. My role as a counselor is to encourage, support, and guide her clients toward better self-discovery while creating a safe therapeutic environment for the client with the hope that the client will begin to explore their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors.
