Core Values

I am a counseling psychologist who is passionate about helping individuals to live a fuller and more authentic life. I understand that many times, we encounter experiences that seem outside of our control, especially those that are rooted in family, cultural, and systemic practices. Yet, I believe that we have the ability to be resilient, the skills to determine how we respond to these encounters and the power to determine how they impact us. My culture-centered approach acknowledges that attitudes and behaviors can only be understood within the context of the culture in which they were learned. Therefore, your cultural factors are at the heart of how we understand your experiences and create change.
