About My Clients

My goal is to create a warm and non-judgmental space where you feel completely accepted, just as you are. I want you to know that your feelings and experiences are not only valid, but also important to me. As someone who understands what it's like to be a minority, I deeply appreciate and value the diversity of your story and background. Your story matters, and I’m here to listen, understand, and walk with you through it, while providing a safe space where you can truly be yourself.

My Background and Approach

We’ll bring in a few corny jokes while using DBT to help you build skills for navigating life's challenges and emotions effectively, as well as EMDR. EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that helps people process traumatic and other distressing experiences. As we process past memories and their emotional intensity decreases, we end up experiencing more clarity, capability, and a greater sense of control to make choices that align with the values, life, and relationships we want. Together, we’ll work on creating a life that is truly meaningful and fulfilling.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Just know if you've decided to start therapy, you've already taken a difficult step toward your healing process. I truly believe that our scars can guide us toward discovering our deepest strengths, confidence, and who we are at our core. I’m here to support you, challenge you, and walk alongside you as you work toward your goals.
