MEET YOUR CLINICIAN
For more than 15 years, I’ve devoted my career to helping people find clarity, stability, and relief during some of the most overwhelming chapters of their lives. My clinical experience spans community hospitals, crisis units, outpatient centers, residential programs, and telehealth, supporting individuals across all ages and backgrounds — from youth to geriatrics, from first-generation immigrants to working professionals, from survivors of trauma to individuals navigating major life transitions.
Who I Help
I provide therapy for individuals experiencing:
Trauma & complex trauma
Anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm
Domestic violence & relationship stress
Identity transitions & life changes
Immigration-related stress, separation, or hardship
Chronic stress, burnout, and high-pressure roles
Medical or surgery-related emotional barriers (bariatric, spine health evaluations)
My approach blends evidence-based treatment, clinical insight, and practical tools you can use immediately — even on the hardest days.
What Makes Me Different
Consumers rarely meet a clinician who has worked at every level of behavioral healthcare — from direct therapy to hospital program development to training medical teams. This depth gives me a unique ability to understand the full picture of what you’re going through.
Invitation To Work Together
People come to me because they want someone who:
✔ has real clinical experience, not just private-practice marketing
✔ understands both emotional and real-world stress
✔ offers bilingual, culturally-sensitive care
✔ brings hospital-level crisis experience to outpatient work
✔ can also provide immigration evaluations and collaborate with attorneys
✔ creates a safe, grounding, predictable space even when life feels chaotic
My goal is simple: to help you feel better, think more clearly, and move forward with confidence.
My Clinical Foundation Includes:
Years of providing psychotherapy in hospital outpatient & inpatient units, PHP/IOP programs, outpatient clinics serving the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) & Federal Pre-trial population, and telehealth
Serving as Clinical Coordinator, Lead Therapist, and Practitioner
Supervising psychiatry residents, leading crisis interventions, and providing emergency de-escalation
Developing telehealth programs, writing policies, and preparing hospitals for AHCA, DCF, CMS, and Joint Commission audits
Being one of the few bilingual clinicians providing crisis intervention specifically in the state of NC during the COVID-19 surge
Conducting clinical evaluations for medical procedures such as bariatric surgery and immigration matters
This combination — deep clinical expertise + operational insight — allows me to help clients in a way that is both emotionally supportive and strategically effective.
My Approach
Clients describe my work as:
Warm but direct — you’ll feel supported, but we will also get things done
Structured yet flexible — we move at your pace with clear goals
Trauma-informed & culturally sensitive
Practical — I give tools you can use immediately, not just insight
Non-judgmental — your story is safe, private, and respected
My role is to help you understand what’s happening emotionally, develop grounded coping skills, and restore a sense of control in your life.
