About My Clients

The majority of my clients are working on breaking family cycles and healing intergenerational trauma. While I don’t believe that every pattern stems from childhood, I would be remiss not to acknowledge the impacts that our primary relationships with family and friends have on the views we normalize growing up. Those views have a tendency to trickle into our communication styles, reactions, interpersonal dynamics, self-esteem, and self-regulation tools.

My Background and Approach

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been in the mental health field for over 15 years.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am a first generation American born to two immigrant parents. I will work diligently with you to develop an awareness and understanding of the difficult, burdensome, and fatiguing aspects of your life, empowering you to create and build upon a positive and healthy transformation. I provide a culturally competent, non-judgmental, safe space in which clients can explore their feelings and comfortably work through the obstacles that are personal and unique to them. I understand how difficult the process of therapy can be and I will be there to support you through what can be a complicated, yet fulfilling and life-changing journey.
