My therapy style is integrative, person-centered, and trauma-informed, grounded in compassion and cultural sensitivity. I draw from multiple approaches to help patients build self-awareness, process experiences, and move toward meaningful change. Patients often share that my authentic, calm, and grounded presence helps them feel safe and understood. They appreciate my ability to blend evidence-based techniques with cultural awareness and genuine empathy, allowing therapy to feel both structured and deeply personal. Many have said that my integrative, trauma-informed approach, combined with curiosity about their individual story, helps them feel seen as a whole person, not just through the lens of their challenges.

Patients have reported they feel more confident, grounded, and self-aware, with a clearer understanding of their emotions, values, and patterns. Many describe gaining stronger communication and coping skills, a greater sense of self-acceptance, and the ability to set healthy boundaries in relationships. They frequently express appreciation for the safe, validating, and culturally sensitive space that allowed them to explore difficult experiences and create lasting personal change.
