Reaching out for mental health treatment can be intimidating but do trust that therapy is a supportive and nurturing environment, and I look forward to helping you in this journey. I especially enjoy working with the military community and with couples in helping them find the answers they are searching for.

I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I work with adults and couples who are struggling & in search of practical solutions. If you feel stifled in your relationship by a lack of intimacy, infidelity, communication breakdowns, trust issues, or disconnection, we can tackle those problems, together. If you feel stuck in your own life because of anxiety, stress, loss, addiction, or low self-esteem, therapy can help you find relief too.

Are you a teen or adult that is unable to do your daily activities? Unable to go to work or school? Too depressed to get out of bed? Too anxious to go out? Feeling the urge to self medicate to get through the day? Did you just get released from the psychiatric hospital? Do you have big emotions that run your life? Do you feel out of control? Do you ask yourself why you should continue to go on? Have you tried Intensive Outpatient Programs before and not liked being in groups with people you don't know? Have you wished you could find an IOP that helps you privately?

No more self criticism, no more self doubt- let's stop avoiding and learn how to face our fears and what hurts the most with compassion and respect. Therapy is about making real connections. No scripts, no quick fixes—just deep, meaningful work to help you be yourself again. Anxious and overwhelmed doesn’t have to be your default mode. Riding the waves of life can be done with confidence and self respect, not worry. If you’re grieving, I can help you honor the loss and make the impossible transition to living the future you didn’t plan.

When anxiety takes over, it can feel like your mind is constantly spinning—overthinking, second-guessing, never able to fully exhale. Trauma, too, has a way of lingering quietly, shaping how you show up in relationships or respond to everyday stress. And OCD can leave you stuck in patterns that don’t make sense, but feel impossible to stop. If you're used to handling everything on your own, reaching out can feel uncomfortable—but it might also be the turning point.

You want therapy that allows you more time to process, dive into the nitty gritty, and spaciousness for your nervous system. If you are struggling with unresolved trauma (from childhood, grief and loss, postpartum and infertility, women issues, and concerns related to the Asian experience) that is seeping into other areas of their lives like challenges in relationships, parenting children, or fostering intimacy with their partners by offering therapy intensives outside of the 50-minute model, please reach out. You don't have to do this alone. If you are ready to do the work, I am here to support you each step of the way.

The strongest person is the one who knows when to ask for help. Everyone struggles, but why do some people handle life's challenges so well? My goal is to help my clients have a happy and fulfilling life. What this means is clearly different from person to person. My aim is to identify the behaviors that are keeping this from happening, implement these changes, practice them in real life and moving on. I am a short term-solution focused therapist. The more you do outside of therapy, the faster you can achieve the changes you desire.

Do you need a therapist to help guide you through unresolved trauma? If you're having difficulty engaging in new experiences, maintaining relationships, and calming your mind and body you may benefit from EMDR therapy. Our mind and body respond with protective behaviors and beliefs to help us survive traumatic experiences. However, when the traumatic events have passed, but our survival responses continue in healthy environments, they create dysfunction.

Therapy is about learning to love yourself and grow despite your mistakes. It is about finding the joy in giving without expecting anything in return. It is about welcoming your struggles with the same strength and enthusiasm that you welcome your victories, for it is through our struggles that we grow. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
