Hello, and welcome to a brief description of who I am and what I have to offer you in your personal path to wellness.  I bring an eclectic, client-centered approach to therapy, drawing from Humanistic and Person-Centered frameworks as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), play therapy, group therapy, mindfulness-based practices, and the creative use of art in sessions (though I am not a licensed Art Therapist). My goal is to meet each individual where they are, honoring their unique experiences and supporting them in discovering their strengths, resilience, and healing path.

My work also includes extensive experience with student and parent newcomers, including individuals and families who have endured trauma throughout their migration journeys. I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and culturally responsive environment where clients feel seen, understood, and empowered.

As a bilingual, biracial, and bicultural 56-year-old who has faced a range of life adversities, I draw not only on professional training but also on lived experience. These experiences deepen my ability to connect authentically and empathically with those I serve. I am here to walk alongside you, offering support, understanding, and hope as you navigate your healing journey.
