It is wisely said that “each client comes to the session embodying multiple voices from the past”. I believe this reflects the complexities and beauty in both being and understanding ourselves.

In today's fast paced world, people can feel disconnected from their feelings while others feel overwhelmed by them.

Or, if you keep finding yourself just feeling stuck, therapy can help you break free from whatever is holding you back, whether it is fears, patterns, or even people, lets explore together and find a solution.

My goal as a licensed psychologist is to help individuals, couples, families, and groups find harmony between what they "think," how they "feel," and what they "do" as they work through multiple life challenges and demands. Since its beginning, the vision of my practice has focused on providing culturally-sensitive mental health services to diverse populations exhibiting a full range of difficulties and psychological disorders. This vision is launched from a cognitive-behavioral framework. My practice reflects the insight offered by Albert Einstein: "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." Hence, for change to happen, "thinking matters."

We only know what we know, no shame in not knowing what we don’t. Consider it a privilege to accompany you on your journey to a more fulfilling life.

My style is interactive, direct, and supportive. I focus on the here-and-now but recognize that one's past impacts choices, feelings, and behaviors in the present. I hope you find therapy with me to be a safe, nurturing, productive experience.
