You may feel like life isn’t making sense the way it used to. Maybe you’re grieving a loss—of a loved one, a relationship, a career, or even a sense of identity. You don’t like dwelling on emotions, but something feels off. You might notice patterns in your choices or relationships that you want to change. You want clarity and control, not to be weighed down by grief or anxiety. I help you navigate emotions in a practical way so you can move forward with stability and purpose—without getting lost in overwhelming emotional exploration.

When you are grieving, struggling to adapt to a major life transition like pregnancy/postpartum, or working out issues with your faith, you can feel overwhelmed and paralyzed. It can be hard to know how you're going to get through it. Faith that was supposed to be a solace, can become a part of the overwhelm and unknown. But you don't have to struggle through this alone. I can help. As your therapist, I want you to feel safe to work through these things in an environment that feels supportive, hopeful, and genuine. I want you to feel seen and understood in the midst of whatever you are facing.

Are you an adult child of immigrants who struggles with feeling stuck, anxious, or like something is wrong with you, even though “nothing major” has happened in your life?
You feel overwhelmed by expectations and disconnected from your true self.
Perhaps you try to push through, people-please, or stay busy and never feel like it’s enough or like you’re truly okay.
And this leads you to feel exhausted and alone in your experience.
I get it, navigating multiple cultures and generational expectations often means carrying invisible emotional burdens. We’re led to believe we have to hold it all together.

In marriage, you want to feel deeply loved and connected. You want a relationship where you can turn to your partner and know, without question, that you matter. To feel that way, you need a bond that feels safe and secure—where both of you can express your emotions, share your fears, and know you’ll be met with love and understanding. The problem is life gets messy. Stress, misunderstandings, and past hurts can create a wall between you, leaving you feeling lonely, frustrated, or even invisible in the relationship you treasure most. No one should feel disconnected or alone when all you want is to feel close and cared for.

Life is often complex and confusing, and the pain of trauma is intense. Trauma can be one event that scares you and makes you feel helpless, or a chain of them that teach your body that the world is not to be trusted. Anxiety is a daily reality and moving through life is like moving through a room full of carnival mirrors and moving mazes. Worry for the future keeps us awake at night. The past intrudes in our present, drives our behavior in ways we cannot explain, and leaves us questioning our own motivation and even our sanity. Thoughts can become so loud in our heads that rest is not possible.

I have been in practice since 2007 and have been featured on ABC, NBC, and KCAL as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity, financial recklessness, gambling, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, and relational conflicts. My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model. I also share insight from my own painful but redemptive recovery journey.

It's okay to ask for help. In fact, it's brave! We live in a busy and uncertain world with many expectations. Often times people feel like they aren't enough or that there is something wrong with them. You may feel you are not thin enough, a good enough mom, student, partner, employee, etc. But you are enough! And you are not a problem to be fixed! You are a human to be understood! Whether you are struggling with an eating disorder, anxiety, OCD, addiction, or how to navigate life in general, my goal is to create a space for you to feel safe enough to show up as you are and to know that it's okay to not be okay.

Online Therapists
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialized therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
