About me
I dedicate my therapy practice to help people heal from unresolved emotional pain and learn to cope with challenges and life’s transitions. I believe that with some guidance, patience and self compassion, difficult and overwhelming events can turn into opportunities for change, healing and growth. I specialize in trauma and women's mental health.
A little bit about me: I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist licensed in California (LMFT #122241), and been in practice since 2013. My therapy style is warm and collaborative. I have extensive experience working individually and in groups with survivors of sexual trauma and I am trained in a wide range of therapy approaches. I usually use a combination of evidence based therapies like mindfulness, somatic approaches, talk therapy, CBT, attachment theory, Brainspotting and creative expression. I am an immigrant and have multicultural, multi-faith experience from living in different places in the world. In our sessions you will be encouraged to connect to your authentic self, and regain insights and strategies so that you can have a more fulfilling life. Above all, I believe that therapy begins with you and that you are an expert on your own unique experience, and therefor we will work together to find what fits your personality, and your goals.
