Whether you are going through significant life changes or simply handling life events and needing a safe, non-judgmental place to vent and process, this is the place for you. I was born and raised in Southeast Asia and then moved to the United States, which has opened me up to many perspectives, cultures, walk of life, experiences, etc., as this encompasses civilian and the armed forces lifestyle.

I believe that people seek out counseling because they feel that they are lacking guidance and are struggling to make sense of the problem(s) or issue(s) they are experiencing. In other words, they feel “stuck”. Because of this, they are searching for a way to change, move forward, or process their own thoughts and feelings related to whatever is causing their problem. Each person has the option to take charge of their own narrative and change their current problems or circumstances or create a new life all together. Through the counseling process, I am able to help my clients accomplish that and move forward.

Change. It must be something you are considering as you read through counselor profiles. Change is powerful, healing, and necessary as we maneuver through life. Boundaries. This word is life changing. Healthy boundaries allow others to love us and appreciate us fully for who we are. Balance. Peace. Joy. These are achieved with hard work and implementing therapeutic tools we are often not taught. Therapy is a good place to explore, reprocess, learn, practice, and implement the skills needed to make the changes you are seeking.
