 Most of us could use a little help dealing with life sometimes. If you have noticed that you are struggling to cope with the situations, symptoms, people, and/or challenges in your life as effectively as you would like or are used to, you may be considering therapy. I applaud your courage and commit to providing you with a personalized therapeutic experience that honors your unique lived experience and identity. 

Through respect, transparency, and compassion, I will work collaboratively with you to identify your path to learning how to not just survive the tough times, but to thrive because of them.

My style tends to be actively engaged, collaborative, strengths-based, and relatively unstructured. I am a generalist in terms of what I treat and have specializations in working with trauma, chronic illness/medical trauma, personality disorders, relational concerns, anxiety, depression, and psychological testing.

Being a psychologist is more than a career choice for me; it is truly my life’s purpose. I will treat the honor and privilege of you inviting me to walk alongside you with the utmost respect and care.

I am a psychologist who specializes in treating a variety of mental health issues with a particular focus on multicultural factors that shape all of us. I am passionately committed to supporting my clients through their mental health journeys by allowing them to process their emotions and address and resolve their problems. I work collaboratively with individual clients to help them find their strengths and guide them by teaching them tools to manage their distress and improve their lives. 

My approach to therapeutic interventions is geared toward clients' needs. I utilize an integrative approach to treatment, including interpersonal and relational therapies, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectic behavior therapy. 

Individuals experience struggles throughout their lifetimes and need a helping hand in times of adversity. I encourage you to take a healing trip with me, and I commit to support you through your journey toward healing and growth. 

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, grief, interpersonal conflicts, life transitions, acculturation stress, anger management, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
