I am a culturally sensitive psychologist, author, and mental wellness public speaker in San Francisco, who will create a safe space that distinctively fits your needs to help on your journey toward healing and growth. I understand we often find ourselves feeling lost, overwhelmed, abandoned, or may be at a loss of how we feel, because we’ve arrived at that familiar place of despair and ruminating self doubt. My hope is to provide an opportunity to disentangle from suffering, which may lead to improved quality of life, greater satisfaction within relationships, increased productivity, and enhanced self-worth and compassion. It is vital to work comprehensively with all aspects of a person. I utilize a multicultural framework while incorporating dialectical and cognitive-behavioral therapy, relational, and mindfulness-based techniques to help increase insight, acquire coping skills, and establish lifestyle changes to incorporate self-care practices to avoid suffering. I believe all people are unique individuals filled with untapped strengths and resiliencies. My aim is to create a nonjudgemental safe space for genuine understanding of your goals and needs. I invite you to be the author of your journey by turning over and examining every stone to unearth your authentic self and ignite feelings of direction and purpose.
