I'm honored to be part of an individual's healing and growing path. I've been in this field for over 25 years in inpatient and outpatient settings working with all ages and different ethno-racial backgrounds. I collaboratively work with individuals and couples using evidence-based practices to explore the presence of stressors, navigate through challenges, learn safe and productive coping, and build stronger problem-solving skills to alleviate suffering and enjoy healthy relationships. I'm glad you're searching, and hope you will find your match as that is the most important factor in your healing journey.

I discovered at an early age that helping others is helping me to grow and build more resiliency in my life. Growing up in a multicultural household, and living around the world, I've always been fascinated by human diversity, and socio-political prejudice and injustice that affects humans' well-being. I don't look at my profession as a job. It's been a special privilege for me to be part of many people's growing journeys as it's been empowering for me to learn about my journey, and purpose in life.

I enjoy socializing with family and friends. yet, I really enjoy and need my "me time". I purposely try to keep my daily laughter and playfulness alive with others and individually to take care of myself. At the same time, anything that helps me to quiet down, reflect, and process my thoughts can be energizing to me too.

Pilate, music, and movies.

Women Who Run with the Wolves. Every time I read it, I learned something new about human creativity, interdependency, passion for life, and resiliency, which has been empowering for me as a survivor.
