About My Clients

I work with a wide range of individuals struggling with various stressors that can make it difficult to cope with daily life. My role is to help you find a happy medium against the turbulence around you. My trauma-informed practice focuses on the strengths you are bringing to our sessions.

My Background and Approach

My counseling style is collaborative and direct, with a soft approach. I have been described as supportive, caring, and compassionate, with a pretty good sense of humor. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you maximize them to overcome obstacles. I'm here to help you sort through the difficult things right now and offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment. You have taken the first and most important step by seeking help.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in the right to self-determination, respect, and positive boundaries. Therapy is a process that leads to further self-discovery, and the journey can take you anywhere most of the time, the destination is unexpected. I come from a culture that does not believe in mental health, and there is a lot of stigma around it. I can connect with different cultural beliefs and work to spread awareness about mental health's impact on our well-being.
