Hello! Hola! Chao Ban!

A brief introduction to who I am and what I do

As a bilingual, multi-cultural, board-certified psychologist, I wear many hats. I provide evidence-based therapy, comprehensive psychological assessments, and trauma-informed workshops.

My professional background encompasses ten plus years of working nationally and internationally to empower children, adolescents, adults, and families to understand the underlying causes of their struggles, increase resiliency, and develop positive coping strategies. I create individualized treatment plans that are specific to my client’s history and needs.

My specialties include the intersections of one’s gender (cisgender, transgender, gender non-binary, agender), culture (racial, ethnic, familial, religious) and language. I help clients understand the impact of these potentially conflicting layers on their mental health and emotional well-being.

I utilize a positive approach to psychology and do not view symptoms as a mental illness.

Instead, I see emotional pain, identity struggles, and relationship problems as a natural part of the human experience and an opportunity for personal growth and healing.

I work from a strengths-based approach where I believe that we all have the inner tools and wisdom to become the best version of ourselves.
