Work HistoryI believe that my experiences with different cultures lead my interest into issues around identity and multicultural issues which influence school/work life, emotion regulation, stress, and symptoms of anxiety and depression. I have experience in couples therapy, working with adolescents and adults. As your therapist, I tailor my approach depending on your needs. It is my commitment to offer you a safe space without judgement and provide an empathetic ear. Each person is unique which means that the approach should be unique to you. My goal is to help you understand behavior patterns which will lead to a better understanding of one's self. I will provide you with concrete coping strategies to better deal with stress and negative behavior patterns.
