Starting therapy can feel overwhelming and bring up fears we don’t always understand. Navigating life between cultures, family, and identity can create emotions that are hard to explain.

My work focuses on healing generational trauma—including the kind you may not even realize exists—while helping you understand family and cultural dynamics and strengthen your relationships with yourself and others.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 28 years of experience working with children, adults and families to enhance relationships and personal well-being. I enjoy working with youth and adults and use a client-centered approach to address anxiety, depression, trauma, and behavioral issues. I also like to work with parents who may be struggling with their children's behavior. The relationships we have with our own parents whether we are adults or kids has a great impact on how we see and interact with the world; understanding these relationships can go a long way in understanding ourselves.

What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.
When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.
What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.
How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
