Do you owe yourself a better quality of life? Are you feeling stuck? I can help you gain insight in your relationships, conflicts, or reconcile with your troubled past to improve your life. I specialize in individual, couple, family/group therapy. I'm here to help you improve communication, self-esteem, coping skills, and overall wellness. I also provide psychological testing to clarify functional versus intellectual ability, identify personality pattern and mental health diagnosis, as well as career planning. For individuals who have severe mental illnesses, I will use contemporary positive psychology strategies to help you reduce depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and psychotic symptoms.
I have 15 years of experience in the mental health field working in various roles with numerous individuals, groups, families with diverse cultural/ethnic backgrounds in many settings. I worked with patients with dual mental health/substance abuse issues. I provided therapy with an emphasis on advocacy and social justice.
I am a compassionate person, a life-long student, refugee, woman, daughter, wife, mother who can relate to you. Together with my extensive training, I believe I can help you overcome your struggles. I am eager to share with you how dysfunctional behaviors can be changed to achieve a better quality of life.
