In my clinical practice, I am dedicated to helping clients find balance and harmony by identifying obstacles and patterns that contribute to their current challenges. I strongly believe that meaningful change, guided by compassion and determination, fosters healing and promotes overall well-being. I take a collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring my work to each client’s unique needs using a variety of evidence-based techniques. As a bilingual and bicultural therapist, I bring both personal and professional experience to create a welcoming, safe space where clients feel valued and supported in their healing journey. Beyond my passion for helping others, I find joy in spending time with my family, especially with my grandchildren. I also enjoy exercising, cooking, gardening, interior remodeling and decorating, learning about different cultures, and traveling.
