My approach

...is strengths-based and trauma-informed, I work from the attachment perspective. ​​​I use a person-centered, holistic, multicultural, and integrative approach in treatment. This means that I use a wide variety of therapeutic tools and interventions, and customize my sessions to fit your specific needs. I respect your individual cultural identities and experiences. 

​

​I love working with creative and neurodivergent people. My passion is to bring healing to those who have often felt limited by the burdens of their anxiety, depression, or trauma.

 

If your desire is to find new freedom in living without hesitation and being supported in living your life with fierce and unapologetic authenticity then you’ve come to the right place. I will appreciate you for your individuality and your rebelling soul.

My Clients

Teens and Young Adults. 

I love the complexity of teens and young adults. I appreciate your creativity, individuality and your desire to pursue your dreams despite the pressure to conform. I will guide you in exploring your identities and values and help you connect both to yourself and others.

​​

​​​Trauma Survivors. 

I enjoy the delicate and challenging work with people who are in the process of understanding and overcoming significant trauma in their lives. I will guide you in understanding how your past shapes your present relationships and experiences. I will provide you with a safe and non-judgmental space to tell your life story.

​​

LGBTQ community. 

I am a passionate supporter and an ally for the LGBTQ community, especially for the gender non-conforming and transgender people. I create welcoming and affirming environment for people of all genders and orientations to address the issues that bring them to seek therapy. In addition to doing therapy, I also provide gender affirming surgery assessments and letters for FREE. 

​​​

​​Teachers and all others working in education.

Besides working in my private practice, I work as a high school therapist, supporting both students and staff. I work with many passionate and hardworking individuals who sacrifice themselves to the students they work with. This sacrifice is oftentimes the reflection of their generous and kind human nature but also the cruel reality of working in a broken system. I support teachers in exploring, defining and protecting their boundaries and personal values. 

​​​

​​First-generation/immigrants. 

In my lived experience as an immigrant, I have deeply explored my sense of identity, including my experiences of losing and finding my roots and my community. I will support you in your feelings of anxiety, depression, inadequacy and rejection, and provide a safe space where I cherish and appreciate your “otherness.”

​​​​​

People experiencing life transitions. 

I often work with people who are noticing changes in their lives where things that used to work out are not working out anymore. I enjoy guiding you in defining you new normal in your relationships with both yourself and others.
