I believe that we make the best decisions about our lives with the information and tools that we have in the moment or have survived with; you are the expert of the experiences in your own life. My approach to helping is to establish a joint relationship with whomever is in the room; it is a collaboration where you discover how to change your relat
It can be very difficult to take steps towards positive change or to seek support when facing challenge in your life. Therefore, my primary goal when working with a new client is to create a comfortable environment. I strive to get to know you and to understand what you want from our work. I believe that each person's needs will be different, s

My goal is to meet people where they are emotionally, prov
Whatever has brought you to this point in your search, counseling can help. I recognize that going to therapy can be challenging for some, so my goal is to make you feel at ease throughout the process. You might be seeking guidance, support, or simply a safe space to process your emotions. You can also be dealing with challenges that prevent you fr
Brene Brown says: "If we really want to live a joyful, connected, and meaningful life, we must talk about things that get in the way.” For people who come from families of color, particularly Asian and Latinx families, talking about generational trauma is taboo. Your pain is valid. You do not have to ignore or forgive them, "because t
