My Background and Approach
My background in early childhood studies has given me a unique perspective on the importance of nurturing the inner child. I help clients reconnect with their early experiences, addressing wounds and fostering healing. As an associate clinical social worker (ACSW #122668) under the supervision of Debora Ribas-Santos, LCSW #81269, I help clients navigate challenges regarding depression, anxiety, and chronic illness. Further, I use evidence-based methods like Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, and person-centered approaches for personalized care. Choosing therapy with me means embarking on a journey toward a healthier, more fulfilling life. Together, we'll build on your strengths and address your challenges, guiding you on your path to wellness.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am passionate about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and committed to ensuring everyone feels seen and valued. I believe in the power of culturally responsive care and strive to create a therapeutic environment where all clients can explore their identities and experiences safely. In addition to my work as a therapist, I am a children's book author. My book, "Sticky Rice for Lunch," became a #1 bestseller, reflecting my dedication to sharing stories that celebrate cultural heritage and foster understanding. This experience has deepened my commitment to DEI and inspired me to integrate these values into my practice.
