About My Clients

I specialize in helping couples and families navigate complex challenges to build stronger relationships. I work with partners struggling with communication breakdown, and preparing their relationship through pre-marital counseling. I also offer support to individuals struggling with the impact of trauma and experiencing impairment in various aspects of life.

My Background and Approach

As someone who immigrated to the US at a young age, I pull from my lived experience and humble upbringing as well as my professional experience and education to connect with my clients and truly do my best to walk alongside them on their healing journey. Much of my experience includes working with undeserved populations, including minority groups and Foster youth. My passion is working with couples, families and individuals struggling in relationships due to communication issues, past trauma and infidelity. I utilize CBT, ACT and Solution-focused modalities among other based on my clients expressed needs. I believe in the importance of walking alongside my clients and reminding them of their strengths and past successes overcoming challenges in their lives.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Personally, I value family and believe it is important to be there for our loved ones. I consider myself incredibly open-minded and believe in the inherent good in people.
