Get To Know Me
In what ways does your personality influence your approach to therapy?
My personality and life experience strongly shape the way I approach therapy. I come from a multicultural background, which has given me a deep appreciation for how culture, family expectations, and identity influence the way people experience emotions, relationships, and personal challenges. Because of this, I approach therapy with curiosity and respect for each person’s background, values, and lived experiences rather than assuming that one path to healing fits everyone.
Being raised with exposure to different cultural perspectives has also helped me understand the pressures many people feel balancing personal needs with family, cultural, or community expectations. Many of my clients appreciate having a therapist who understands these dynamics and can hold space for conversations about identity, belonging, and navigating different worlds.
At the same time, my personality tends to be very grounded and solution-focused. I care deeply about helping people move forward and not feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. I aim to create a space where clients feel safe being honest, challenged in a supportive way, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives.

Education
Barry Univestiy, Master of Social Work, Clinical, 2018 — Barry University – Master of Social Work (MSW)
Barry University’s Master of Social Work program provides advanced clinical training focused on trauma-informed care and evidence-based therapeutic approaches. The program emphasizes understanding the impact of trauma, strengthening clinical assessment skills, and developing effective interventions to support emotional healing and resilience across diverse populations.
Work HistoryMy clinical experience has been centered on helping individuals work through trauma, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm. Early in my career, I worked in community mental health where I supported individuals and families navigating complex life stressors, relationship challenges, and long-standing patterns that often stemmed from unresolved trauma. This experience helped me develop strong skills in assessment, emotional regulation work, and supporting clients during difficult life transitions.
Over time, I specialized in trauma-focused care and trained in approaches such as Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), EMDR, and other evidence-based therapies that help clients process painful memories rather than simply manage symptoms. My work now focuses on helping teens and adults understand how past experiences shape current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, while guiding them through practical tools to create lasting change.
In private practice, I primarily work with clients experiencing anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, relationship difficulties, and patterns that keep them feeling stuck. My approach is structured and goal-oriented, but also compassionate and collaborative. I believe therapy should help people move forward, not stay stuck in their past, and my goal is to help clients build the clarity, confidence, and emotional stability needed to live more fully in the present.
