Finding the right counselor is essential to your success in treatment. Using creativity, compassion, and commitment, I will meet you where you are and help you get to where you would like to be. In addition to traditional talk therapy I use a variety of Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques such as meditation and hypnotherapy. Counseling can be an intimidating experience and the decision to seek counseling is a courageous one. Whether you are having difficulty with adjustment issues or recovering from a traumatic experience, your treatment will be specific to you and specialized for your individual needs.

As a psychotherapist, I listen without rushing in a relationship of mutual respect and trust.

The decision to seek out therapy is not always an easy one. However, finding a therapist that provides support, encouragement and techniques that can improve how you feel and function in life is worth the effort. If you are feeling overwhelmed in your relationships, work, or are experiencing low self-esteem that may cause you to use poor coping skills, take a moment and imagine yourself feeling hopeful. I am a strong believer in addressing the whole person (body, mind, soul).

Navigating the ups and downs of life can be exhausting and confusing, living day to day with the stresses of life weighing down on your shoulders. No two people’s struggles will be the same: Maybe you are learning to handle grief after losing a loved one. You might be struggling to adjust to an unfamiliar environment after having left your home country. You may struggle with cultural differences between you and your partner. Or perhaps you can’t put a finger on what your core problems are. Finding a welcoming space in which you can discuss your personal issues and concerns, free of judgement, may seem an insurmountable challenge.

Your input is paramount to a successful working partnership.

I enjoy working with transitions in life--childhood into adolescence, adolescence into adulthood, midlife and then towards the aging process. My goal is to enable a child or adult or a couple to experience life with purpose and meaning. I treat symptomatic depression, anxiety, and stress which can occur during these developmental transitions. Also, past trauma often surfaces at these junctions. An exploration of the past in connection with a thorough understanding of the present contributes to the healing process. Using my background as a nurse and nurse practitioner, together we examine how symptoms manifest in a person's physical being and their implications for living healthfully today.

Witnessing others discover their inner strength and overcome difficulties has been a rewarding experience for me. I have worked with first-generation adolescents, adults, and families, providing therapeutic and counseling services to address issues related to acculturation. I have experience and a vast understanding of the challenges and emotional difficulties experienced by first-generation individuals. I offer you my knowledge, experience, and a safe and judgment-free space to explore and understand your emotions and learn new skills to help you overcome challenging situations and reach your full potential.

Counseling is not so much about addressing "dysfunction" as about having a rich and safe space to be heard, and helped. I tell teens (who believe that seeing a counselor means they're crazy), that I work with normal kids and normal problems. I believe that about all my clients. "Normal" problems are daunting when they appear as depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, divorce, difficulties with kids, and/or burnout. My belief is that every human difficulty makes sense, but sometimes they require a translator and guide. My intention is to provide the space that leads to wellbeing and fulfilling relationships.

Are you experiencing depression, anxiety or other moods that cause distress and reduce the quality of your life? Have you wondered what it would be like to be able to manage difficult feelings and calm physical responses to heightened emotional states? I offer talk therapy, art therapy or a combination of both to instill hope while working towards self-regulation and healing. We explore creativity as a practice of mindfulness; a skill that can be used throughout your life. If you decide you would like to try art therapy, there is no art experience required. I enjoy working with beginners as well as seasoned artists.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
