I''m a bilingual LCSW with experience working with individuals dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and adjustment disorders. I use an empathetic and collaborative approach, drawing from evidence-based practice to provide tools for growth and change. My approach is centered on creating a safe, non-judgmental space that empowers you on your journey. You can look forward to open, honest communication and a collaborative effort to help you reach your goals. While meaningful change may take time and dedication, you can make steady progress as long as you put in the effort. My ultimate goal is to support you through your journey and help you become the best version of yourself.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we will get to know each other. We’ll start by reviewing your background, discussing the specific challenges that led you here, and defining your personal goals for therapy.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My therapeutic style blends compassionate listening with active guidance. While I provide a safe, open space for you to explore your feelings, I will also gently challenge you to pursue meaningful growth when the time is right. My ultimate goal is to empower you as you work through the challenges that brought you here.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My practice is dedicated to helping individuals navigate significant life challenges, offering specialized support for those coping with medical diagnoses—such as cancer—and their primary caregivers. I also help clients through anxiety, depression, major life changes, academic pressure, parenting struggles, and burnout. I partner best with motivated individuals who are ready to commit to meaningful, long-term personal growth. My goal is to guide you through the changes you are looking to make.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I've been using CBT in my practice for the past six years. By implementing CBT, I have helped clients alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression, foster better communication skills, improve their emotional regulation, and build greater resilience for managing daily stressors."Concise & Direct

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

I have applied Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in my practice to treat clients' depression and anxiety by helping them embrace challenging thoughts and feelings rather than resisting them.

Humanistic

I used humanistic methods in my sessions to foster a supportive environment in which clients could independently explore their inner experiences, embrace who they are, and achieve self-actualization.

Motivational Interviewing

I've partnered with clients in the past 6 years to resolve ambivalence, drawing upon Motivational Interviewing strategies to evoke self-directed motivation and support lasting personal growth.
