My communication style

I believe in collaborating to create a space that feels safe and empowers us to be our authentic selves. Developing this trusting space, free of judgment or rejection, helps us resolve any traumatic or historical condition that blocks access to our true selves.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a woman, person of color, immigrant, and mother, I've had my own hurdles in finding and embodying my authenticity. External disapproval, hate, and cultural forces have been deterrents. With support from my community, love from my chosen family, and the strength to heal my traumas, I found my path.

My goals for you

I believe resolving current hurdles is the most effective way to move towards long-term goals. I work collaboratively with clients to decide what feels most present as they walk into the session and what they'd like to work on.

Our first session

My focus is to understand your journey and what brought you in at this moment. I also think it's important to feel connected and aligned in the therapy space, so I place great value in building that foundation for a fruitful therapeutic relationship.
