"It would be my honor to walk with you in your journey."
As a licensed clinical social worker, I am educated and trained to provide a variety of mental health services to individuals and couples. I specialize in working with clients in the technology field. Every client whom I serve has different reasons why they are wanting to work with me. Some clients are looking for their diagnosis, and some clients are looking for general life improvement. I offer highly individualized and client centric services.
Your voice matters the most in your care, and I adapt myself to meet your needs. I am trained in a wide variety of therapeutic methods. Abraham Maslow said “If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.” I do not limit my services to a specific method because everyone’s needs are different.
Specialty Services
Immigration Evaluation
Asylum, Extreme Hardship, and Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) cases only
Are you going through your immigration process to stay safe in the United States? Or is your mental health in jeopardy because your loved one may get deported? I, myself, am an immigrant to the United States. No matter what your situation is, going through the immigration process is not a mind-easing journey. I am trained to provide a compassion-based thorough evaluation to strengthen your immigration case. I am here to listen to your stories and advocate for your needs.
Intentional Living
Are you living every day with intention? How do you choose to live your day to day life? Bringing intention to life requires you to know yourself and align your actions to your values. This is easier said than done. Though, it is not impossible. This takes your diligent work to look into yourself and reflect to learn and grow.
I had times when I lived my life just getting through the day. I lost sense of myself in my own life. I wanted to take back ownership of my life. The journey took me to another level of happiness that I never imagined. All my hard work was worth it. I love this work. I want to invite you to live your thriving life that you deserve!
Inattention
Have you struggled with inattention along with low motivation in your life? You may be naturally gifted in what you are doing but doubt yourself or have a hard time achieving more because of your inattention. Some people are diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) - inattention, but many are undiagnosed. You have been surviving through school and work, and have never thought you can excel and feel confident about yourself. Does this sound familiar to you?
Helping people with this struggle is my big passion. I am often characterized as motivated and organized. My natural strengths can aid what you are struggling with. Medication can be an easy fix but it may not be enough for you to sustain your success in long-term. I can provide tools that can compliment how your mind works. These behavioral skills can help you reach your full potential.
Relationship Difficulties
Humans are social animals. Most people crave for meaningful relationships. In thriving lives, healthy and supportive relationships are essential. If you are struggling with any relationship in your life, especially your love relationship, living a fulfilling and thriving life is challenging. Many relationship difficulties often arise with misunderstandings. Even healthy relationships require continuous negotiations and compromises.
I love people. I love healthy relationships. I have gone through numerous conflicts at home, at school, and at work. What I have learned is conflicts are beautiful. They provide the opportunities to explore and learn about differences. If you give up in working through conflicts, they are the negative stressors in your life. However, if you use these chances, your relationships will deepen and they will provide so much fulfillment for you! I will help you learn effective communication styles to assertively advocate for yourself and restore the balance in your relationships.
Parenthood
Parenthood starts as soon as you acknowledge the presence of your baby. Becoming a parent is an amazing and rewarding journey. But you knew that journey is not going to be easy. Let’s be honest. You never imagined it would be this hard! You may feel you are more overwhelmed than others. You may doubt you are a good parent. You may have a lot of mixed feelings about parenthood, no matter how long you have been a parent. What you are feeling is ok and normal. However, you may need help during prenatal months and during different developmental stages of your child’s life.
I am a parent, and the journey is continuous. While I received the best gift in the world, I sometimes had feelings that did not support that. My self-esteem was affected and I felt lost with what I should do. Being a parent requires constant work, and I will be there for you. Your happiness is foundational to your child’s healthy life.
Loss and Grief
When you hear loss and grief, you may think of a death. People often think you can only grieve if you have lost someone you care about. That is one. I specialize in loss and grief on a broader sense. For example, you may have imagined what it looks like when you become an adult. As you enter into your adulthood, the life you imagined may be completely different. You may feel the loss of hope and dream and grieve what you have missed out. Like this, people grieve for various reasons. I provide the care with loss and grief lens and help you to re-define who you are.
I have gone through many challenges in my life and I have lost so many parts of me that I never imagined. Being ok with what I lost and rebuilding a new sense of self took a lot of resilience and hard work. It was not a quick journey. However, I cannot thank enough for the courage I had and the support that I received especially from my therapist. I am stronger than ever, and I am living in the life that I redefined with love and balance. I would like the honor of accompanying you in your journey.
