Grief and loss, childhood emotional neglect, domestic violence, and many other difficult challenges and transitions in life can affect how we see ourselves and the world we live in. It can lead to powerlessness, hopelessness, unspeakable pain and suffering, shame, emotional upheavals, and/or loss of sense of safety and security.

 

Yet all we seek is the ability to find peace and acceptance of, and a strong connectivity with ourselves that eventually lead to better connections with others. We want to be able to clear our view to ultimately see our deeper and meaningful purpose in life. I believe we have the innate capacity to achieve these.

 

I have been practicing in the mental health field since 2018. I have a wide range of experience in different settings such as community mental health, crisis home and domestic violence shelter, hospital, and private practice settings. I work with individuals ages 18-80.

 

I utilize the strengths-based and person-centered approach in therapy. I use different modalities, which include Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Polyvagal theory. My mind-and-body approach also has strong reference to neuroscience and mindfulness.

 

I will be your listener, your guide, and your helper. I will make sure that where we are in every session is a safe and nonjudgmental space where there is patience, kindness, warmth, and trust in the process. We will work together towards your healing, rediscovering yourself, and truly appreciating and utilizing your power and strength.
