I have worked for many years with domestic violence survivors and immigrants. Looking for help managing emotions? I am here to help. Finding the right counselor can be challenging. It is something that should be done in a safe, non-judgmental environment that is individualized to meet your needs to help you feel validated and understood. I aim to help provide you with tools to use in combination with your strengths to improve your mental state. As a licensed social worker with over 14 years of experience, my work has extended from community centers, in-home therapy, and integrative medical settings with underserved communities.
