I work with both couples and individuals of all ages, and have a collaborative approach that leaves room for humor amidst intensity and gentleness amidst serious change. I have specialized experience providing sex therapy, LGBTQ+ support, Asian American culturally competent care, and counseling for multicultural identities and relationships. These therapeutic specialties further overlap with my passions for healthcare equity and activism for collective liberation. Clinical social work cannot merely be the bandaid that makes oppression easier to stomach; it should be part of the work that gets us free.

I am also passionate and specialize in working with the LGBTQ+ community and multicultural issues.
The human experience is filled with joy and challenges. Sometimes these challenges exceed our own capacity to cope effectively. My goal as a therapist is to lend the support needed for my clients to create meaningful, fulfilling lives while overcoming any challenges they face. I am passionate about helping individuals and families recognize and embrace their capacity to understand and to change their life experience. If you are in need of a supportive environment to weather an emotional storm, I am here to listen compassionately and provide a safe therapeutic space for all clients.

I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to engage in self-reflection at some moment in their lives, whether they are transitioning through a phase or struggling with the daily stressors of everyday life that impact well-being. I envision therapy as a collaborative process between therapist and client in which individuals, through guidance and introspection, can reach the best versions of themselves and develop meaningful relationships, self-fulfillment, and mastery over past and present challenges. I hold a multicultural lens with all clients I encounter and recognize the impact of race, ethnicity, and social context.

I have been working with families, individuals and couples for 35 years to identify and explore recurring patterns that prevent a person from living a rich, fulfilling and meaningful life. I collaborate with clients, using a Family Systems framework, to explore those issues that are contributing to relationship conflict, work difficulties and low self-esteem that often result in anxiety, depression and addiction. Our work together will explore roles, patterns, and conflicts in one's family of origin as well as how they continue to impede one's life in the present.

Therapy is an opportunity to explore oneself and make positive changes to improve your life. My ideal client is someone struggling with their thoughts and emotions. Many of my clients come to therapy burdened with excessive worry, sadness, fear, or guilt. As a therapist, I provide the safety of a supportive, non-judgmental relationship to explore one's challenges. Together, we explore how past and present life experiences contribute to current perceptions, thoughts, beliefs and patterns of behavior. Therapy with me focuses on empowerment, as I work to help my clients embrace their cultural identity and find areas of strength.

Multicultural Therapists
What type of therapy is multicultural therapy?
Multicultural therapy is not tied to any specific therapy; rather, it is an overarching approach to therapy that aims to acknowledge and address the influence that factors like race, gender identity, and cultural background can have on someone’s life. Multicultural approaches can be applied to CBT, psychodynamic therapy, and others, and can be practiced with individuals, couples, families, or groups.
What can I expect from multicultural therapy?
Multicultural counseling should be tailored to the client’s unique identity and cultural needs. Such approaches often prioritize the building of trust so that the client feels comfortable exploring various aspects of their identity and any challenges caused by mismatches between their identity and the dominant culture. Beyond that, the format and timeline of therapy will be heavily influenced by the therapist’s preferred therapy approach and the specific problems for which the client sought therapy.
Can multicultural therapy help treat trauma?
Yes. Cultural factors such as racial background, gender identity and or sexuality, and immigration or refugee status can influence both whether someone experiences trauma and how they cope afterward. Multicultural approaches to trauma-informed care will be aware of these influences, helping the client recognize how their response to trauma may be shaped by their cultural background and identify coping mechanisms that take their identity into account.
What are the benefits of seeing a multicultural therapist?
Members of minority groups who seek therapy are sometimes frustrated by providers who don’t understand their cultural background or dismiss the ways in which race, gender, or other facets of their identity influence their lived experience. Seeing a multicultural therapist can help these clients feel seen, understood, and able to develop solutions to life challenges that take their upbringing, beliefs, and past experiences into account.
