My Approach:
Given the challenges of our times including COVID-19, inflation, digital overload, reductions of force, and social unrest, I strive to promote wellness through vulnerability, authenticity, healing, rest, community, and joy. I aim to ensure that each session is an inclusive, safe, and supportive space that takes into account your identity, personal history, and the environments and systems in which you exist.
I believe that true wellness encompasses the mind, body, and spirit. Together we will develop an individualized holistic wellness plan using evidence based interventions. You can expect reflective tasks and guided homework between sessions, breath and meditation exercises, and somatic practices that help you reconnect with your body and deepen your healing.
I also offer comprehensive, trauma-informed immigration mental health evaluations for asylum cases, T visas, U visas, VAWA petitions, hardship waivers, and cancellation of removal. Each evaluation is conducted with cultural sensitivity and clinical expertise.
