Biography

Hi, I’m Farina! Let’s ditch the “thuggin it out” era. You’re a Gen Z woman of color who’s been doing the absolute most by carrying family expectations, the cultural pressure, and the world’s BS all on your back until you’re running on E. Exhausted, unseen, and over it? I feel you! I’m here to help you unpack all that baggage. Let’s make space for your true self and integrate mental health into your actual life—not just another chore. You’re the expert on you; I’m just here to walk alongside you on your healing journey! Let’s heal what’s been weighing you down.

Clinical Interests

If you’re 13+ dealing with anxiety, trauma, depression, or burnout, I got you. My whole vibe is person-centered, meaning you’re the expert. I focus on supporting my BIPOC women and youth community. Especially those of us navigating the unique mental load of being “Gen Z”. Let’s ditch the burnout, tackle your mental health challenges, and build a resilient path toward healing that feels authentic to you.

Clinical Approach

My approach is person-centered (it’s all about you!) and strength-based (we focus on your wins, not just your struggles). I pull from a mix of approaches including but not limited to narrative therapy, CBT, attachment, etc. Everything is grounded in a culturally sensitive framework, ensuring your truth is seen and affirmed. Your cultural context isn’t extra; it’s essential!

Hobbies

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy getting in touch with my creative side by going on Canva and crafting digital scrapbooks. I am also a huge foodie! I enjoy exploring and learning about different cultures through food. Aside from eating various foods, I also enjoy cooking them! My favorite dish I’ve made so far is a Thai dish called “massaman curry”.  Outside of my professional life, I enjoy getting in touch with my creative side by going on Canva and crafting digital scrapbooks.
