Mental Health Counselor
Your struggles make sense, truly. You are trying to navigate your journey as best as you can and I am here to support you without judgment.
Personal Approach
My approach is grounded in fostering a safe, trusting space for clients to show up and share as their authentic selves by offering culturally-affirming, trauma-informed, collaborative, and empathic care. I believe pain and struggles make sense in context. My hope is to support you in understanding the roots of your challenges, processing their effects, and creating self-compassion and acceptance.
Professional Background
I am a bilingual, bicultural therapist and native New Yorker with experience working with diverse populations who struggle with trauma, depression, anxiety, immigration, acculturation, relationships, self-esteem, body image, and identity. My approach integrates interventions rooted in psychodynamic therapy, internal family systems, acceptance commitment therapy, and attachment theory.
