Care Philosophy: My priority is to present myself authentically, provide empathetic guidance and support my clients on their healing journeys. I believe that therapy should be an empowering tool that helps people navigate mental health struggles, relationship issues and life changes while taking into consideration unique identities and cultural backgrounds. I primarily use a combination of integrative, person-centered approaches and multicultural approach while incorporating elements of strength-based therapy, CBT and DBT techniques, LGBTQ and feminist therapy, and mindfulness techniques.
