Nice to meet you
I have a upbeat, creative, warm and non-judgmental personality which clients report make it easy and natural to open up to me. I believe that therapy is an avenue to self improvement, healing and transformation. I empower clients to make changes to improve their lives. I see myself as a guide who supports clients in their journey of personal and emotional growth. I help clients become more self-aware, improve self regulation and coping skills, heal from previous stressful/traumatic experiences, enhance their communication skills, and understand their emotions at a deeper level.

Interests
I love to travel. I think immersing yourself into a different places, cultures, and/or among diverse groups of people is a great educational experience. My dream is to eventually travel the world. I enjoy spending time outdoors; it helps me relax and feel more grounded. Most of my weekends are usually spent hiking or doing other outdoor activities. I am an avid crafter. I love to create. I experiment in making all types of crafts including jewelry, personalized gifts and art.
