Welcome! I am an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor under the supervision of Donald Hua LPCC #10292. I believe everyone has the ability and right to live a truly fulfilling life. My passion as a counselor is to help people overcome the barriers that hinder this process through integrative treatment approaches and holistic support.
My therapeutic approach is founded on person-centered and existential therapy principles. I also offer Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy for those seeking more indirect trauma processing.
Though I am open to working with any and all concerns, I have the most experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, attention deficit disorder, and interpersonal relationship dynamics. My primary specialties include working with adolescents, young adults, single parents and marginalized communities.
My hope is to offer guidance and support toward balanced living through deep reflection. I wholeheartedly look forward to connecting and joining you on your journey of discovery and growth!
