MY WORK WITH YOU IN THERAPY

WECOME TO MY THERAPY PRACTICE

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, 121934
Licensed Practitioner of Clinical Counseling, 9238

I offer services to individuals of diverse ages and cultures. As an immigrant to the USA, I intimately understand the challenges and triumphs of assimilation, maintaining cultural connections, and forging a new identity in a different country. These personal experiences are the foundation of my work with you and your family. If you or a loved one have migrated to the USA from another country, you face unique challenges. Generational differences, the loss of life back home, and the impact of traumatic experiences can contribute to feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression. I am here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.

My approach is relational and trauma-informed while exploring your ancestral, familial, and childhood experiences that may have shaped your present-day challenges. By understanding the layers of your personal history, we can uncover patterns, gain insights, and work towards creating lasting change. Together, we will work towards a deeper understanding of you as an individual and in the context of your relationships. I believe in the power of therapy to help you rediscover your inner strength, enhance your functionality, and meet the demands of everyday life.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
