Life can be full of challenges, but also rewards. Therapy can help us to have better relationships with our family and friends, as well as those in our extended communities.

Together we will design and build the mental and emotional structure where you can live your happiest life that is mindful and peaceful.

My approach to psychotherapy is based on my strong belief that a therapist needs to be genuine, warm, caring and provide treatments that are backed by research and efficacy. As such, my practice is unique because I am that engaged and active therapist who provides cutting edge treatments such as mindfulness and cognitive behavior therapy for various psychological issues and disorders. To me, the relationship between the client and therapist is extremely important, and I utilize that dynamic to develop insight into to what my client is experiencing and how my client is relating to others.

My skills and experience have allowed me to deal with various diverse cultures who are reluctant to seek treatment due to stigma. Having been raised as Armenian and Greek, I have experienced the multicultural and societal pressures firsthand. In the face of a person experiencing a challenging life event , even the most competent person may need extra support or guidance. Everyone has problems and there is no shame in seeking help. It is my goal to create a safe Christ Centered environment for you to navigate through issues of acculturation, emotional scars from the past that prevents you from pursuing Gods purposes.

It takes courage to understand the need for healing. My mission in psychotherapy is to help you learn how to help yourself. It should be emphasized that psychotherapy is far from "one size fit all." Therefore, the art of change in psychotherapy is achieved through a thorough psychological assessment in order to apply the precise remedies to your specific challenges. As a result, healing is often achieved by re-conceptualizing your past and presence, but most importantly is to improve your outlook on the future. I have been practicing as a psychologist for 26 years, on three continents.

My greatest reward as a therapist is helping my clients explore ways to make the changes in their lives that will allow them to look forward to the future with hope. I believe that we all need someone to talk with who will listen and accept us without judgement. I consider therapy as a privilege where I am invited into my client's lives, and to travel the journey with them through healing, change and self-empowerment. I utilize different modalities such as; psycho dynamic theory, attachment theory, cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness.
