I specialize in helping children and adults navigate life's complexities, such as stressful events, emotional struggles, and feelings of being stuck. Whether you are facing a challenging life event, experiencing relationship problems, or dealing with depression or anxiety, I am here to help. You can expect a safe, non-judgmental space to share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I aim to provide a sanctuary where you can explore your inner world with support and compassion. Together, we will work to uncover deeper self-awareness and foster emotional healing.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Your first therapy session is an opportunity to build a strong therapeutic relationship in a supportive and nonjudgmental space. The session typically includes: 1. Building Rapport and Trust – Your therapist will create a comfortable environment where you feel safe to share. This may involve discussing confidentiality, answering questions about the therapy process, and engaging in an open, supportive conversation to establish trust. 2. Assessment—Your therapist will gather information about your background, challenges, and mental health history. This may include exploring your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships to understand your unique experiences and needs better. 3. Identifying Goals– You and your therapist will discuss what you hope to achieve in therapy. Whether you're seeking symptom relief, personal growth, or coping strategies, this step helps guide treatment in a way that aligns with your priorities. The first session is about setting a foundation for meaningful progress. Therapy is a collaborative process, and your input will shape the progress of the sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

One of my greatest strengths as a provider is my ability to sit with you in challenging and painful emotions without avoidance or discomfort. I believe that true validation comes from acknowledging the depth of your experience and stepping into your world with empathy and presence. My goal is to make you feel seen, heard, and understood, creating a space where healing can begin

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I specialize in helping individuals and families process complex trauma. I work well with adolescents who feel misunderstood, whether they are system-involved, labeled oppositional or angry, or struggling with identity, expression, or sexual orientation. I also support children and caregivers navigating disconnection due to acculturation challenges, fostering healing and connection.
