High satisfaction rate with clients
Nice to meet you
I am a Latina/Asian-American therapist with a diverse perspective, strong attention to detail, and cultural sensitivity. My approach blends CBT, DBT, solution-focused therapy, trauma-informed care, ERP strategies, and mindfulness-based techniques, all tailored to your individual needs and goals. Clients describe me as warm, direct, goal-oriented, and collaborative. I am interactive in sessions and enjoy working closely with clients to help them identify a sense of purpose and create a clear plan to improve their symptoms.
