Therapists in California
I specialize in working with bright, motivated clients who are professionally driven. I bring a social and racial justice lens to therapy, exploring the impact of immigration, ethnic & racial identity, and cultural issues that impact client's personal and professional lives. Life transitions, relationship challenges, experiences of loss, issues around acculturation, & family difficulties can lead to a sense of isolation and unrest. Whether these experiences happen in childhood or adulthood, their impact can be difficult to shake. They leave an influence on how we view ourselves, others, and our approach to new situations.

It keeps you up at night, and it fills your day with jittery uneasiness. Your partner cheated on you. The pain and confusion are so intense that it feels like you’re in a walking nightmare. All trust has been destroyed. You can’t even look them in the face. In a way, the relationship seems over. Yet you stay, fueled by memories of the happy life you once had together… or because you can’t imagine leaving your kids or your home… or out of love. Meanwhile, you go through the motions, feigning some semblance of normalcy. But it’s anything but… and you both know it. Apologies will never mend this divide, so where do you go from here?

No longer alone. We are here with you. In life, we experience different events, such as the recent pandemic, financial stress, overwhelming anxiety and pressure, the loss of a loved one, the unexpected divorce, a difficult birth, etc. and adjust the best we can, using our strengths and supports. We mostly do well. However, sometimes our coping strategies are insufficient to achieve our long term goals and heal our emotional and/or relationship wounds. You turn to others for support and guidance, such as family, friends, religious and ethnic community, and sometimes, you want to go deeper within yourself to seek out the answers.
