Masters Level Clinician, MS

I view the therapeutic bond between the client and the therapist to be a gift. As the therapist, the gift I receive is getting to know and see the beauty within each client, while walking with them throughout their way to healing. My ultimate goal is to create a safe space for my clients where they can be their most genuine and authentic self, free of any judgment. Growing up in Nashville and watching it diversify over the years, while being a daughter of immigrants myself, I understand first-hand the importance of diversity, loving, and embracing who you truly are.

I enjoy utilizing a holistic and integrative approach in therapy. I truly believe that because the mind, body, and spirit are connected, it is important that each of the holistic parts are addressed and recognized in therapy. Therapy modalities that I integrate and utilize are EMDR, Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), & Play Therapy.

Searching for a counselor and taking that initial step to begin the counseling process isn't always easy. I understand that this process can be challenging, because change can be hard. As your therapist, it is my job to create a safe, and judgement free zone while walking with you on your healing journey.
