Resolving personal issues and the work of self-discovery can be a difficult but rewarding journey. Undertaking this challenge in a thoughtful way, with someone who acts as support and guide, helps illuminate the process. Relationship issues, romantic, familial or social, can be filled with confusion, anger, jealousy and the loss of self-worth. They can also be the seeds for better understanding who you are in the moment and who you really want to be.

I am happy to consult with you to help you in the process of finding someone who feels like the right fit. If it doesn't feel like I'm the person that's right for you, I can make other recommendations within my professional network. You don't have to do this alone and finding the right person and reaching out can be the hardest step. Especially, when looking through a sea of nicely positioned head shots. The number one factor for success in therapy is the connection between therapist and client and I believe my strength is to always attempt genuine and authentic understanding for your story and how you got to this place.

I specialize in multicultural couples and families, as well as 1st and 2nd-generation Americans. I help multicultural couples with the pitfalls of having seemingly different values and backgrounds. Having been in a mixed marriage for more than 30 years, I am sensitive to the challenges of this population. I also help multicultural individuals get comfortable with their identity which is crucial as they navigate the issues of belongingness. I've been a partner in raising a biracial child. I understand how it is to raise a multicultural family with at times conflicting priorities.

You are worthy and "enough" just as you are. Most people want to improve on themselves in some way, but deep inside your authentic self is there already. Some key factors in getting the most out of therapy are openness, willingness, and curiosity while facing life's stressors. There may be tears, laughter, and times of confusion along the path to self-discovery, with each step of the way leading to fully expressing your authentic self. I invite people of all ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds to explore the hidden opportunities that stress provides, to encourage self-care and personal growth. I have openings and take CIGNA & ILWU.

Are you a veteran who is experiencing military transition issues that often feels like you don't belong because of structural differences, goals, or lacking camaraderie. As veterans, we often cope with our conditions alone because of the hypermasculinity training we have received throughout basic training and our advanced training. Frequently this can lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms that can aggravate undiagnosed conditions. Are you experiencing sadness, reckless behavior, concentration issues, anxiety, isolative behaviors, or difficulty sleeping? If you are, I would like to help.
