Introduction

Having lived in three different countries has gifted me the insight of different cultures and different perspectives, each strengthening my cultural competence. Seeking therapy might not be an easy decision but I recognize it as personal strength, resilience and hope; these are the components I utilize in my therapeutic approach. I hold the belief that when seeking therapy, you are asking to be met where you are at. I have experience working with CPTSD, PTSD, religious/cult trauma, anxiety & panic, self-esteem, self-doubt, cultural stress, existential crisis, first generation immigration & family estrangement. I’m passionate about empowering the self and as a person-centered, strength based therapist, I believe that you seek therapy with the untapped ability to be your best self. Deciding to seek therapy is scary and can be overwhelming but it also is a testament to your own strength and self-love. Take the leap, reach out! I look forward to connecting with you and follow you in your journey.
