I believe that my role as a counselor is help others become congruent to their truth. I do this by focusing on client strengths, and creating a safe and supportive environment for insights and transformation to occur. I see myself as an empathic and intuitive listener, as well as a direct communicator. I can tell it as I see it, with tact and sometimes humor, and I find creative ways to challenge the barriers clients may encounter in their life journey. I believe in personal responsibility, and I see the counseling process as an active and collaborative one. Also, given my personal experience as an immigrant, I approach counseling from a multicultural perspective. I find that identity, family of origin, group affiliations, and systemic culture, can all contribute positively or negatively to our life experiences, and can be worth exploration.
I use an Integrative approach to therapy (Mindfulness Techniques, Cognitive Behavioral, Adlerian, Client Centered, Solution Focused, Trauma Informed to name a few). I have extensive expertise and advanced training in: Trauma and Abuse, Grief, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, Eating Disorders, Personality Disorders, coaching and career counseling.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
