I work with individuals, couples, and families, dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, attachment, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, women’s issues, LGBTQ+ challenges, and relationships.
I am a mature, older woman with a lifetime of experience that I draw on in my practice. I am an empathic, respectful, and careful listener. I also am a very active collaborator in the therapeutic process, sharing my insights when I think they will be helpful. I work eclectically, utilizing approaches to therapy that are trauma-informed, integrative, and experiential. I am trained in many different modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR).

Do you feel like you are a tangled mess tied into a giant knot thrown into a dark corner? Are you not sure where to start but know you want help? Are you starting on a new or exciting phase in life but instead of feeling happy, you just want things to go back to the way they were? I know it can feel so frustrating, wanting to live, and parts of you are holding you back.

My counseling goals are to facilitate self-awareness, self-acceptance, and responsibility for one's own actions and growth, as I believe this leads to empowerment, healing, and wellness. Encompassed in the idea of growth is interacting successfully with others. Respect is the underpinning of the counselor's relationship with the client and inherent in the counseling techniques I use. Techniques employed in my practice include: establishing open communication, behavioral and cognitive behavioral techniques, and psycho-educational techniques involving social skills and occasionally career development.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or an issue related to cultural adaption? Do you have a concern related to your social world? I serve diverse populations with a variety of presenting problems. I truly believe disability and stress are part of natural human life. By identifying educational, social, medical, psychological, and vocational barriers, each client is finding their interest, strength, and value for their life and career path.

Collaborating with adolescents, adults, and families to work toward improving mental health and general wellbeing is of great importance. While transparency is encouraged, building a strong therapeutic relationship takes time and is crucial for successful treatment. Regarding barriers, it is essential to meet individuals where they're at to avoid setting unrealistic expectations.

Hello, and welcome. I believe one of the most important aspects of therapy is prioritizing a collaborative, compassionate, and safe environment. I like to take a client-centered approach, making sure you are in charge of your goals but supporting you as you work to achieve them. Everyone has unique experiences and needs that I believe should be considered when it comes to therapy. I have a background in child welfare and development but have worked in a variety of settings.

As a daughter of immigrants, I am familiar with the struggles of feeling like an outsider, facing ongoing acculturation, as well as the stress and anxiety that comes with resettlement and starting over. I strive to normalize therapy and make it accessible to anyone struggling with their cultural or personal identity, including the immigrant community and anyone seeking therapy for the first time. Allowing yourself to be vulnerable with someone new is often one of the most challenging aspects of starting therapy. There is a stigma associated with seeking professional help for mental health in many communities.

Have you ever found yourself unable to feel better, despite past attempts to think your way out and move forward? Like a cycle you can't escape? Is it sometimes hard to "human"- to socialize, get yourself to focus, to navigate sensory overwhelm, or even to communicate to others? Maybe you've seen therapists in the past who seemed to be puzzled by you or not on your wavelength so you felt stuck. Are you looking to get to the root of these challenges and heal them for good instead of chronically coping just to get by? Do you need to make a change, but don't want to simply talk about your feelings? The good news is everyone can heal.
