I am a tri-lingual psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families as they navigate challenging transitions in life. As a queer-identified therapist, I am particularly passionate about providing affirming care to LGBTQIA+ clients and have extensive training in this area. I also work closely with immigrants and children of immigrant parents, addressing issues related to immigration trauma, acculturation and intergenerational conflict. I appreciate the complexity of human experience and strive to create a safe environment for clients to fully express their life stories. I use a culturally sensitive, intersectional, and trauma-informed approach in my practice. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) Level 1, and Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C). Additionally, I have received training in DBT, EMDR, Mindfulness and Prolonged Grief Treatment. I commend you for taking the initiative to engage in therapy as a step towards change! I will conduct a comprehensive assessment to gain a thorough understanding of your current life stage and the unique challenges you are facing. Together, we'll collaborate on developing a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your specific goals and needs.
