The relationship you build will shape the life you live. Whether you are preparing for marriage, navigating challenges in an established partnership, or adjusting to pregnancy or early parenthood, these moments carry lasting impact. Many thoughtful, accomplished couples seek support not because something is “wrong,” but because they want clarity, alignment, and a strong foundation for the future they are building. At the Center for Healthy Marriage, we help couples slow down, gain perspective, and address what truly matters during pivotal seasons of life.

I work with adults facing challenges related to OCD, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, that cause life stress. They feel overwhelmed and seek clarity and empowerment. Their primary need is compassionate, non-judgmental support in a safe space to share their thoughts and experience. Their goals include gaining insight, developing coping strategies, and enhancing their overall quality of life. They want to feel more freedom from their symptoms and get back to doing what they value most. Ultimately, they seek a therapeutic partnership that nurtures support and resilience, transforming challenges into opportunities for growth.

I am a licensed clinical psychotherapist who specializes in helping people dealing with depression, anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, pregnancy/postpartum/early parenting, substance abuse, self esteem and relationship issues. I provide clients with hope, and a safe environment to discuss the areas of their life which they are ready to work on and change. I recognize the significant influence that every person's past has on their present and the therapeutic benefits in exploring this, but I am also committed to assisting my clients in finding concrete and practical solutions to their current struggles and challenges.

If we could talk our way out of all of our difficulties, you probably wouldn't even be looking at my profile right now. Sometimes we need to try a new approach, and that is where behavioral therapy comes in.
I am a behavioral therapist at heart and while we will talk to build understanding and insight (it is therapy after all), we will also be doing. This means we are going to engage in researched-backed practices in and out of session designed to build skills and change behavioral patterns in your life that have been holding you back from living the kind of life that you want.

Behind each difficult emotion, lies a valuable lesson. To get through life's obstacles, we need connection, compassion and acceptance. I offer a non judgmental look into how you came to be, so that feelings can be felt and not shut out. By inviting these feelings in & processing them together, we challenge our avoidance/fear so you can be seen right where you are at. This compassionate approach rebuilds the relationship with yourself and gets to the root of change. Change does not come from saying "this is where I want to be and I'm not there now." It happens when we start to understand the purpose a behavior/feeling serves for us.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or wanting assistance with a specific issue, I commend you for taking a step towards finding support. You may be adjusting to a recent life event, wanting a better relationship with a significant other, or feeling understandably hopeless/outraged/fearful about our global landscape.
I’m here to listen, to be curious about you & to offer you my observations & feedback. I aim to help you reduce stress, find peace & clarity, and remove any roadblocks in the way of you living your best life. “Best,” is subjective, therefore part of our work together may be figuring out what that means for you

If you’re looking for someone who can relate to your experience, I identify as biracial & the daughter of an immigrant.
I'm curious about people: how our unique histories have shaped us, how we relate to each other & what motivates our behavior in relationships. I specialize in processing relationships with couples & individuals struggling with codependency, communication, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem & identity. We often get stuck in repetitive behavioral/thinking patterns that block us from living the lives we yearn for. We may feel misunderstood or disconnected in our relationships. We may avoid intimacy because we don’t want to get hurt again. We may have a harsh inner critic & lack self-love. Do you experience this in your life?

On the outside you look strong and capable. On the inside, you're overwhelmed and tired of pretending that everything is fine.
Maybe you’re exhausted from people-pleasing, holding yourself to impossibly high standards, or never feeling like you’re doing enough or that you are enough. I specialize in working with high achieving women who look like they have it all figured out while secretly struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, and self-doubt.

You may feel exhausted from overthinking, people pleasing, difficulty trusting yourself or repeating painful patterns in relationships. Or, you might find yourself guarded or shut down, relying on logic, and independence while struggling to feel connected in relationships. Whether you feel overwhelmed by anxiety or shut down and isolated, you don't have to navigate this alone. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, move beyond survival patterns, and develop a more connected and authentic relationship with yourself and others.

BIPOC - Have you experienced loss or adjusting to change? Life comes with loss and change: the death of a loved one, the loss of health, a break-up. Dealing with any loss and adjusting to major change often negatively affects us, and our emotional well-being and coping habits are sometimes compromised as a result. It is easy to fall into depression or develop anxiety if our coping is not managed and nurtured appropriately. I’m glad you are taking steps to process what change or loss means to you. As an Asian American Filipina, I provide culturally competent therapy services to those managing dual/multi cultural/BIPOC identities.

You are not the problem, the problem is the problem. Problems may tell you a story of shame, pain, anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, or feelings of inadequacy. There is a path out of that story, toward healing. Reclaiming yourself and creating space from these problems sets the stage for you to take your power back. Seeking therapy can be a challenging process—from giving yourself permission to begin, to finding the right therapist once you do.
