With years of experiences as a Mental Health Counselor, I currently serve as a private practitioner working with a broad spectrum of clients. My areas of expertise include working with severely mentally ill persons, clients with adjustment issues such as relational problems, anxiety, depression that may contribute to mild to moderate impairment in functioning,as well as Adolescent and community based populations. I also work with clients diagnosed with PTSD and Mood disorders.

I am a non-judgemental empathic therapist with 20 years of experience working with patients with various issues that impact their ability to be as productive and happy as they would like to be. I use a client -centered approach where I focus on understanding people's strengths and how those strengths can be used more cohesively. I am a very good listener and shy away from giving tons of advice to someone but rather encourage the person I am working with to shape their decision making and life choices. I am also very responsive to a client's concerns .

I provide child, adolescent and adult psychotherapy for a variety of issues, including anxiety, low self esteem, trauma, adoption and loss. With these kinds of issues, play and art therapy interventions are helpful for children and adolescents. For clients struggling with anxiety and developmental issues such as Autism, ADHD, a more didactic, cognitive-behavioral strategy oriented approach can be used. My work with adults is psychodynamically based with use of strategies from dialectical and cognitive therapies as warranted. Another important component of my practice is neuropsychological assessment for learning, attention, social and emotional issues in children, adolescents and adults.

Is this a time when you are feeling overwhelmed by the challenges in your life? I am passionate about helping you address difficulties and develop the solutions that are right for you. You need not allow fear and anxiety, depression and problematic relationships interfere with your daily experience. I strongly believe in the concept of progress not perfection, and identifying strengths as the key component to personal growth. Together in a safe therapeutic environment we will identify your strengths, empowering you as an individual to live your best life!

I am a licensed clinical social worker with a background in the U.S., Japan and Europe. I provide psychotherapy for adults who experience relationship issues, difficulty coping after a stressful event and life transitions. I draw from relational, insight-oriented, cognitive and trauma-focused approaches and am committed to creating a safe, supportive and collaborative environment.

Life can be painful and complicated at times, and so often we react instead of respond to stress. Whether you are an adult, teen, or child, emotions can be complex to navigate and difficult to manage alone. My goal is to support you through difficult moments, help you build awareness and understanding for your behaviors and feelings, gain clarity in confusing times, better understand your relationships, and ultimately help you see life in clearer terms. As a collaborator on this journey, I aim to provide a nurturing and safe environment so that you may explore your internal nature and grow in all the ways you desire.

With so many responsibilities and commitments, it can be challenging to make time for ourselves to reflect and think about life choices. At times, we may overlook our mental health and how various issues are affecting us. My approach to psychotherapy is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space in which you can take time to learn about yourself.
