Life can often feel like a ship sailing, sometimes on smooth seas, at times amid a storm, sometimes aimlessly, other times stuck. There are seasons in life where gleaning perspective and insight are necessary to navigate diverse circumstances, pivot in the midst of challenges or find a safe space to process. My experience as a third culture kid from South East Indian decent, international living in the Philippines as a young adult and being in a mixed marriage provides a unique perspective on cultural fusion. Anxiety, depression, grief, neurodiversity, parenting, relationships, school challenges and stress are areas of focus.

Your concerns are unique to your own lived experiences and circumstances. I work to facilitate a greater understanding of the patterns in your life that contribute to feeling stuck. Many people desire to live "all in" in their lives, but fear, sadness and personal history stop them from doing so. In the therapeutic space I gently challenge individual adults and couples to learn to thrive in their relationships, develop stronger communication skills, break free of limiting patterns and live a life congruent with their values and dreams. I work hard to show up authentically and with warmth for every client.

My journey in becoming a Marriage and Family Therapist has evolved over the last 20 plus years in the Mental Health field from a belief that there is inter-connectedness in everything we do directly impacting our mental and physical well-being.
Relationships in our lives present us with an infinite number of experiences that bring successes, challenges and everything in between. The stories that we live everyday contain relationships that form the foundation of our mental and physical well-being. There are times when we want the current stories in our life to continue and at other times we hope and need for something to change so that we can live the life we desire as an individual and in relation to others. Regardless of the challenges you are experiencing there is a way to find a path forward towards a desired story that will bring fulfillment and joy in your life.

Marriage Counselling
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.
How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.
Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.
Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
