Often our mental health issues are triggered by the highly demanding lifestyle in a stressful environment. We are not able to process all the issues we face all by ourselves. We need professional perspectives of our issues. In therapy I help patients analyze their issues in a scientific manner. My approach is holistic: health, body, mind, spirit, biology, and the environmental factors. Every human being has potentials to overcome their problems through time, patience, insight, using proper resources, and applying their inner strengths. I have faith in my patience. My motto: Educate. Empower. Evolve. I am inspired by what I see!

Life can be challenging at times as you deal with the stressors of trying to manage time, school, work, parenting, relationships, or marriage. Often, we ignore the impact these stressors have on our mental wellness, and it can lead to stress and anxiety. Sometimes, it’s just hard to cope and you are not alone. I would like to help mediate your troubles and promote healing by helping you develop strategies that can help reduce anxieties and stress. Together, we will work to develop coping skills to manage the problems that brought you to this point in your life.

I have 20 years of experience working with children, teens, adults and families. This experience has helped me to assist children, teens and adults in exploring, naming their feelings, finding healthy ways to manage negative feelings and tendencies. With children and teens I work to access their families and community resources so they can take advantage of appropriate supports. With teens and young adults I work on discovering, uncovering what they need from others. I also help them work on separating in a healthy manner while maintaining appropriate attachments to their families of origin.
