My journey as an immigrant — transcending different countries, cultures, and the challenges of being undocumented — taught me the raw reality of feeling like an outsider. Because I have lived this struggle, I am deeply committed to working with immigrant populations and marginalized communities facing personal and systemic trauma.

​

I have training and experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, interpersonal relationships, and life transition using social justice and cultural mindfulness. I consider my theoretical approach to be eclectic in that I utilize a variety of approaches to meet the individual needs of my clients, including, but not limited to, cognitive behavior therapy, narrative exposure therapy, EMDR, trauma systems, internal family systems, attachment theory, acceptance and commitment therapy and experiential techniques including mindfulness and awareness strategies.
