Approach to Treatment:
I view therapy as a meaningful opportunity for self-reflection and growth. It’s a space where individuals can learn to navigate personal and relational challenges by developing long-term tools for resilience and well-being. I approach therapy as a collaborative relationship — one where I walk alongside clients on their journey toward greater self-awareness and self-discovery.
My therapeutic style is multidisciplinary and guided by each client’s unique needs, goals, and strengths. I draw from a variety of evidence-based modalities, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. At the core of my work is a deep commitment to empathy, human rights, and a strengths-based perspective.
I recognize that each person is shaped by the communities they belong to— cultural, familial, professional, and beyond. These communities influence how we feel, behave, make decisions, and cope with life’s challenges. I believe it’s essential to understand these contexts and the roles individuals play within them. In therapy, we work together to explore how clients currently manage difficult circumstances and identify ways to enhance or transform those strategies.
Together, we focus on building self-awareness and self-compassion, nurturing healthy relationships, improving communication, and making choices that support emotional well-being and meaningful engagement in life and community.
I have experience supporting individuals through a wide range of concerns, including life transitions, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, vocational stress, and grief. My work is also informed by my own lived experiences as a bilingual, bicultural immigrant, spouse, mother, and someone who has navigated the complexities of a blended family and the loss of loved ones.
