Great to meet you!

My practice is rooted in a multicultural integrative approach and trauma-informed care. I acknowledge that our identities, relationships, and life experiences shape how we navigate the world around us. I strive to create an inclusive space where individuals feel respected and valued. I have a passion for supporting individuals that experience anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, neurodiversity, relationships, life transitions, self-esteem, and multicultural identity related experiences. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I attended California State University, Long Beach, and have been in the mental health field for over 10 years.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is to collaborate and to provide a supportive safe space, while honoring your unique experiences, strengths and cultural identity. My goal is to gently challenge you when needed, while building practical coping skills and exploring the deeper patterns that might be holding you back from being your most authentic self. I believe that meaningful healing happens when insight is combined with self-compassion and safe spaces.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, we will discuss what brought you to therapy, and your current concerns, and the goals you would like to achieve. Together we can create a plan that reflects your needs and a pace that feels safe and comfortable.
