My communication style is calm and accommodating. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything. I pride myself on my ability to listen empathetically. My style is a good fit for postpartum women and adults dealing with end-of-life issues, a new illness diagnosis, grief and loss, and caregiving. This may often take the form of anxiety and depression. I assist my clients in navigating these transition periods, building skills to feel better about themselves, and developing a more positive outlook on life. My immigrant background as a woman of color has enhanced my cultural sensitivity to minority clients.

I decided to become a mental health professional because I truly care about people, especially those who are going through a difficult period of their lives. I've always considered myself a nurturer, someone who is drawn to helping people through difficult times. That sense of satisfaction is intrinsic and rewarding to feel that I've been able to make a difference in someone's life.

Listening to guided meditation!

Low-impact exercise like yoga, sleeping in, watching a feel-good movie, leaning on my support system, and being able to process any stressors that are bothering me, taking daily walks (approximately 90 minutes) to clear my head.
