DECIDING TO SEEK HELP
​
• Maybe you are confused by feelings of anxiety & self-doubt regardless of your accomplishments & success.
• Perhaps you are struggling to understand destructive patterns that keep sabotaging your relationships.
• Is your tried and true way of compartmentalizing stress & coping with challenges no longer working?
• Have you felt blind-sided & shaken by surges of unexpected & intense emotions, especially anger?  
• Are you an expert in meeting other people's needs but unable to identify or get your own needs met?
• Maybe you feel stuck.
• How do you think about your identity in the face of societal or cultural expectations / family obligations?

LEARN HOW I CAN HELP YOU

CHOOSING A THERAPIST

I understand the ambivalence you may feel in deciding to seek help and from whom you seek help.  When you come to me for help, I will honor your beliefs, traditions, and values. My approach is culturally centered, which means I work sensitively and respectfully within the framework of your unique cultural context. 

​Your culture, societal and familial norms, and your personal beliefs and values influence how you perceive and experience mental and emotional health. Culture shapes your style of coping with stressors and prescribes the supports you have to help you cope.  As a woman of color and immigrant, I hold an affirming perspective about your social and cultural identities.
