Great to meet you!

I have a multiracial and multicultural background. We all have an untold story to tell, and I am ready to hear it. I am a firm believer in happiness and the beauty of life. I fully embrace the principle that each one of us has the right to a happy, beautiful, and meaningful life. I am dedicated to helping you and your family find happiness and live your best life.

My approach to therapy

My theoretical orientation is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), while also integrating elements of family systems, narrative therapy, person-centered therapy, and solution-focused therapy to support clients from diverse cultural and social backgrounds. My professional passion centers on advocating for social justice, promoting multicultural awareness, and supporting diversity within the counseling profession.

What you can expect from me

As your therapist, I will help you travel a path that can mark a new beginning in your life. True healing starts with me understanding you, whether you feel anxious, depressed, fearful, ashamed, sad, guilty, or angry about anything in your life. I will listen to your needs and understand your feelings, encourage you to reach your full potential, and help you create the greatest version of yourself.
