Therapy style
I am a first-generation American who is passionate about supporting others to find the healing they deserve. I believe in the power of healing through self-discovery, understanding past experiences, and addressing trauma to empower individuals to thrive.
Taking the time to process emotions and heal from past traumas can be challenging. Therapy provides a safe and confidential space to explore and understand one's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors with the willingness to be vulnerable. My work is individualized and centered on the client for growth, healing, and liberation.
