I have 5 years' experience as an LPC treating such disorders as bipolar disorder, anxiety, ADHD issues, post-partum, past trauma issues, depression issues, social anxiety issues, divorce, and family therapy issues.

I offer flexible, client-focused, and culturally competent treatment, tailoring every session to meet each individual's unique needs and creating a space where patients feel heard, understood, and empowered in their healing journey. During the initial session, I take time to understand each patient's history, concerns, goals, and existing strengths, and I collaborate with clients to develop personalized treatment plans aimed at providing both immediate relief and long-term healing.

I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), and have provided trauma-informed care across various populations, including children, adolescents, and teenagers.

Patients can expect open communication and collaborative goal setting throughout their journey. I begin treatment by learning about the patient's concerns and sharing the therapies I offer. By the second session, I work collaboratively with patients to create personalized treatment goals. From the third session onward, sessions focus on progress, practical tools, and check-ins to reinforce healing. Every step of care is structured, collaborative, and empowering.

As an experienced bilingual counselor, I utilize an eclectic approach in my practice, taking into consideration the stage and uniqueness of each client's psychological, emotional, and social needs.
