Get To Know Me
What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
Working with me is a collaborative and supportive experience. I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable being open, without fear of judgment. I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, so I move at a pace that feels right for you while gently encouraging growth and self-reflection. My approach is warm, direct, and practical. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all method. Our work together will be tailored to your unique needs and goals. I will help you better understand your thoughts and emotions, while also providing tools you can use in your daily life. I also value consistency, honesty, and mutual respect in the therapeutic relationship. My goal is for you to feel supported, challenged in a meaningful way, and empowered to create lasting change beyond our sessions.

Work HistoryMy experience as a mental health counselor has allowed me to work with individuals from diverse backgrounds facing a wide range of challenges. Throughout my career, I have supported clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship concerns. These experiences have helped me develop a strong foundation in providing compassionate, individualized care that meets each person where they are. I have also gained specialized experience conducting psychological evaluations, including those related to immigration cases. This work has strengthened my ability to complete thorough, clinically sound assessments while remaining sensitive to the emotional impact these processes can have on individuals and families. Across all settings, I have prioritized creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. My approach continues to be shaped by the meaningful work I’ve done alongside individuals seeking healing, clarity, and lasting change.
