Embracing a deeper understanding of mental health means understanding the nuances of human motivation, cultural influences, and relational needs. As a licensed therapist and a child of immigrants, it is my mission to share the word that mental health is an individual experience and not a 'one size fits all.' When wellness is comprehended as a profoundly personal experience, is when we can truly understand ourselves from within. And that understanding - is what leads to transformative change.
