Being a 'First-Generation Professional' means you're pioneering a path that none in your family have walked before. You're the first in your family to achieve significant professional milestones, such as earning a college degree, entering a particular career field, or reaching a certain level of career success. This journey can be both empowering and challenging, as it often comes with unique pressures, cultural dynamics, and expectations.

Therapy can provide a supportive space to navigate these unique challenges. It offers a place to explore and affirm your identity, address feelings of self-doubt, manage family expectations, and balance cultural values with professional aspirations. By understanding and discussing these experiences in therapy, you can develop strategies to cope with stress, improve self-confidence, and create a fulfilling career path that respects both your personal and professional goals. It’s all about embracing your journey, acknowledging your achievements, and empowering yourself to continue forging your unique path with confidence and clarity. If this is resonating for you, Send me a message to schedule your free 20-Minute consultation.

While I am not accepting new therapy clients at this time, you can still schedule a free 20-minute consultation for other services by completing the contact form on my website.

Currently, my individual therapy services are limited to clients residing in the state of California due to licensing restrictions. However, my other services, including consultations, speaking engagements, and freelance writing, are available to individuals and organizations worldwide.

My therapy approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive. I integrate evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy, tailoring our sessions to your unique cultural background and experiences.

Online therapy, or telehealth, provides the same level of support as in-person therapy but with greater flexibility and convenience. Sessions are conducted via phone or video call, ensuring that you can access support from the comfort of your own space.

I require 24-hour notice for cancellations. Sessions cancelled less than 24 hours in advance will incur a cancellation fee. This policy ensures that I can provide the best possible service to all my clients.
