With an understanding that everyone has the ability to change and grow, she works with clients to achieve their goals by utilizing cognitive behavioral and dialectical therapy interventions and techniques. Her approach to therapy also includes mindfulness, utilizing a biopsychosocialspiritual framework with a multicultural perspective.

For me, the heart of therapy lies in building a strong connection and offering a safe space for my clients. Without that foundation, nothing else matters. It's about cultivating trust with empathy and kindness, especially when working with individuals, couples, and families facing challenges like trauma."
