My primary goal as a therapist is to help you become the best and most fulfilled version of yourself.

Contact me if you are struggling with relationship difficulties, sex, sexuality concerns, trauma, losses of loved ones, ADHD, depression or anxiety. I will help you better understand and accept yourself, and use your own insights and strengths to change and grow. I am also passionate about working with individuals, families and groups with cross-cultural/immigration background. Coming to United States as an international student myself, I deeply understand the challenges in the international community, the painful process of loss and separation from home countries, and difficulties to fit in due to language and cultural barriers.

As a licensed mental health counselor, I am here to help you navigate your journey towards emotional well-being and personal growth. With a deep understanding of the challenges individuals face, I specialize in providing comprehensive and compassionate care to support your unique needs. My primary focus lies in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based approach that explores the intricate relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through collaborative sessions, I work with you to identify and challenge negative thinking patterns, helping you develop healthier perspectives and coping strategies.

My goal is to arm you with tools to find a more fulfilling way of living; therapeutic tools that follow you out of my office door and into your life. I have learned firsthand how a strong therapeutic relationship can create an opportunity for transformative change. That is why the alliance between therapist and client is of utmost importance to me. By integrating clinical theory, mindfulness, and yes, even humor, I help clients cultivate insight, self-acceptance, healthy boundaries, increased intimacy, and clarity of direction allowing depression, anxiety, and relationship problems to be relieved.

Have you found that traditional talk therapies have only gotten you so far? Do you feel that you are hitting roadblocks that seem to have no breakthrough? Have you have found that music often moves you in ways that are hard to express in words? If you are looking for concrete tools to help you feel more satisfied, connected to a sense of meaning, and alive, then creative arts therapy may be a powerful treatment.

People enter therapy looking for results and relief. I like to identify issues quickly and focus on alleviating distress. In addition to couples counseling and general practice with individuals, I run support groups for adoptive parents. Parenting is a challenge. Adoptive parenting has additional challenges. My groups offer a safe space to explore issues and receive support. I take great pleasure in engaging people and offering an environment that allows people to arrive at unique solutions to their lives. I work with individuals, couples and groups.

There are difficult experiences in life that inspire or require us to seek outside help and support. Whether an acute crisis, a long-term struggle, or a desire to develop and grow personally, I help patients create change and begin to feel better. I do this in part by helping people recognize and embrace their strengths, sharpen their coping skills for the inevitable challenges in life, and identify and reframe self-defeating thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

For more than 20 years I have treated people with trauma, addictions, depression and anxiety. Experience has taught me there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all treatment for the complicated issues that bring people to psychotherapy. I integrate my training in trauma, harm-reduction psychotherapy and mindfulness skills to develop an individualized treatment plan focused on your specific needs and goals. Whether you are suffering from the pain of PTSD, struggling to modify a problematic behavior, feeling stuck in an unsatisfying relationship or doubt your self-worth, I can help you find a pathway to change.

Do you feel "stuck?" Are you cutting off your feelings? Do you have difficulty speaking up with what you need? Are you dissatisfied with your relationships? You don't have to feel helpless, stuck or disappointed. Therapy can lend a hand to reconnect with your spontaneity & discover opportunities to make new choices and express your needs. Most of my clients increase their abilities to communicate effectively, increase their awareness, develop more satisfying relationships, and begin to identify joy. Help make your relationship work for you - couple's therapy works! I appreciate how difficult it is to take this step.

Therapy is a creative process that could provide new perspectives to expand our sense of being in a safe and collaborative relationship. I work with adult individuals, couples, families, adolescents and kids. I enjoy working with international individuals and families. A particular interest of mine are issues of cultural identity and ways in which culture inflects the experience of selfhood.

My initial goal is to alleviate suffering associated with depression and anxiety. I provide a safe psychotherapy environment, allowing for exploration of problems, and leading to change. I bring integrity, compassion and flexibility to my work, and have a direct, warm style. If we work together, you can expect to gain a better understanding of yourself and of meaningful people in your life. Consequently, you will be able to identify and move out of areas in which you feel stuck, and become freer to enjoy life.

The creative process combined with compassionate guidance has the ability to transform and heal matters of the body, mind and spirit. We will integrate traditional talk therapy with creative arts therapy. Therapy is a personal journey nurtured in a non-judgmental and supportive environment. The therapeutic space offers insight to the inner world revealing emotions, memories and experiences. With this increased insight personal growth and transformation occurs, offering relief from overwhelming emotions, crisis or trauma. We will organically explore your personal needs and challenges, with the goal of maintaining wellness.

Do you struggle to express your voice? Are you longing for more fulfilling relationships where you feel seen and heard? Does peace of mind feel out of reach? We are not meant to face life’s challenges and hardships alone. We will work together to put words to your experience and to make sense of what you are feeling, setting the stage for new possibilities to emerge. I am interested in learning about the life you have lived and how you experience the world. Most of us are trying to do the best we can and need spaces where we can feel heard, seen, and accepted in our full humanity, without judgment.

You're not good enough. This annoying, familiar voice keeps showing up. It's just one of the ways trauma has left a mark. Your anxiety often turns into irritability and you end up snapping at people which makes you angry at yourself. Now you'll be losing sleep overanalyzing this at night. The next day, you wake up tired and grumpy. When someone asks how you are, you fake a smile and answer "good." It's not like you can say "I was up most of the night replaying an unpleasant social interaction over and over in my head, again." It's exhausting fighting your own thoughts and feelings.

The mind never seems to get a rest. Thinking and worry consume far too much of our attention, creating the unsettling sense that our life is not being lived but is passing us by. Perhaps we have lost touch with our natural spontaneity and deeper sense of self. Or feel overwhelmed by the fast pace and difficult moods of our world. We may also feel trapped by our personal history or by the circumstances of our current life situation. As a result, we may be confused about our feelings, separated from our center, and unable to truly appreciate the incredible reality of our life.
