EMDR

I’m EMDR-trained and specialize in helping clients process trauma, anxiety, and overwhelming experiences that often live in the body, not just the mind. My clinical experience and research focus on trauma, cultural identity, and relational healing. EMDR is never a one-size-fits-all approach—I use it thoughtfully and collaboratively, honoring your pace, your consent, and your nervous system’s readiness to heal.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

I’m Level 1 trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), and it’s one of the core frameworks I use in therapy. IFS helps you build a respectful relationship with parts of you that feel reactive, numb, ashamed, or overburdened. These parts are not flaws. They’re protectors. Through this lens, we slow down and listen, allowing those parts to soften and unburden, so your Self, calm, clear, and grounded, can lead with greater ease and confidence.

Relational 

I’m currently completing the certified track training in Relational Life Therapy (RLT), a bold and compassionate approach developed by Terry Real. One of his core teachings is that “we are not born knowing how to love well—loving is a skill.” I use RLT to help clients navigate power struggles, break reactive cycles, and build relational integrity. Whether with partners or family, I support honest, connected conversations that create real change.

Gottman Method

I’m also Level 2 trained in the Gottman Method, a research-based approach to strengthening relationships. I draw on Gottman tools to help clients improve communication, rebuild trust, and de-escalate conflict. Combined with RLT and IFS, this framework allows me to support couples and families in both practical and emotionally grounded ways, so you can feel more connected, understood, and supported in your relationships.

Relationship / Marriage Issues

When working with relationship issues, I use RLT to name the power dynamics, defenses, and patterns that keep you stuck, whether loud or quiet. IFS helps you understand the parts of you that shut down, explode, or over-function in connection. EMDR supports healing past relational wounds that still live in the body. You get to show up more fully in relationships, without losing yourself in the process.

Anxiety

When working with anxiety, I use IFS to help you connect with the parts of you that feel stuck in worry or pressure. RLT helps uncover relational patterns, like people-pleasing or conflict avoidance, that keep anxiety alive. EMDR supports the body in releasing stored fear from past experiences. You don’t need to fight your anxiety. You just don’t have to let it run the show.

Immigration/Acculturation

When it comes to immigration stress, I’m not speaking from theory—I’m living it too. As someone currently navigating the U.S. immigration system, I deeply understand the uncertainty, emotional weight, and identity shifts that come with it. I use IFS to help you hold all the parts of you—grief, pressure, hope. Through a relational lens, we’ll make space for your full story, not just survival. You’re not alone in this—I truly get it.

Depression

I’ve been through my own dark place—the kind where you’re functioning on the outside but barely holding on inside. For a long time, I thought I had to push through, stay strong, and hide the heaviness. What helped me begin to shift wasn’t “fixing” myself—it was learning to meet the parts of me that were hurting with compassion instead of shame. That’s why I now work through the lens of IFS, RLT, and EMDR—to help others find their way out.

ADHD

I get how ADHD can feel—like your mind is always on, yet nothing gets finished. The overwhelm, the forgetfulness, the frustration of trying so hard and still feeling behind. I use IFS to help you understand the parts of you that overwork, procrastinate, or shut down. Through RLT, we explore the impact of ADHD on your relationships and self-worth. My role isn’t to fix you, but to support you in building systems, self-compassion, and a life that works with your brain, not against it.
